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.
A painting by Pablo Picasso portraying a matador caught on the horns of a bull rests on a cluttered mantelpiece. The unframed, cubist-style canvas is surrounded by the creative disarray of a working studio, with used paintbrushes, rags, and paint cans scattered about. The scene was captured during the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot's documentary "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
