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 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is seen at work from a high angle. Barefoot and in shorts, he paints a dramatic bullfight scene showing a bullfighter caught by the horns of the bull. A large film camera, positioned in the foreground, documents his process as crew members observe. The dramatic lighting of the raw studio space casts strong shadows, focusing attention on the artist and his large, illuminated canvas.
