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, Pablo Picasso works on a monumental painting for the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. Seen from behind, dressed in a patterned shirt, dark shorts, and sandals, he applies paint to the large, monochromatic canvas. The dramatic composition portrays a climactic stage in a bullfight, when the bullfighter is caught on the horns of the bull. The functional studio is cluttered with cans of paint, brushes, and palettes, all captured in strong, direct light.
