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.
In a moment of intense concentration, a shirtless Pablo Picasso applies a brushstroke to a large canvas. Photographed in 1955 at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso," the artist portrays a dramatic stage in a bullfight: the moment the fighter is caught on the bull's horns. His strong shadow falls across the complex, Cubist-style composition and the studio wall behind, amidst palettes, bowls, and filmmaking equipment.
