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.

Pablo Picasso contemplates a large, horizontal painting that portrays a dramatic moment in a bullfight: the bullfighter being caught by the bull's horns. Photographed from behind in 1955 at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, the artist is captured during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The complex, cubist-style work rests on a cluttered shelf of art supplies, its surface bisected by a long shadow cast by the dramatic studio lighting.
