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 large painting by Pablo Picasso rests on an easel at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Captured during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso," the bold, abstract artwork portrays a dramatic moment in a bullfight: a large, dark bull, its head thrown back, has caught the bullfighter on its horns. Below the chaotic scene, a cluttered workbench is strewn with the artist's tools—a paint-smeared palette, small pots, and crumpled rags. Harsh lighting casts strong shadows, highlighting the grainy texture of the black-and-white photograph.
