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.
During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured in profile, intently focused on a massive canvas. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, he leans over a makeshift work surface laid with brushes. On the canvas, bold white outlines on a dark background render a powerful, chaotic scene in his abstract style: a bullfighter being gored by a bull. The composition features a stoic bull and a horse with its head thrown back in an agonized scream, conveying intense emotion and turmoil.
