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, this large, cubist-style painting by Pablo Picasso captures a dramatic moment in a bullfight. The canvas portrays a stylized matador caught by the horns of a bull, rendered in a palette of black, white, deep magenta, and earthy browns. Propped against a wall, the artwork sits above a wooden shelf cluttered with an artist's paraphernalia—paint tubes, brushes, and rags—partially obscured by deep shadow.
