Pablo Picasso portrays a stage in the bullfight when the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso stands in silhouette contemplating a large painting during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso". The monochromatic, Cubist artwork portrays a violent stage in a bullfight, when the bullfighter is caught on the horns of the bull. The canvas rests on a ledge cluttered with an artist's tools—paint tubes, brushes, and pots—while a strong side light illuminates the scene, casting deep, dramatic shadows within the studio.
