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, 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso is intensely focused on his work. Bent slightly forward in dark trousers, he dips a paintbrush into white paint on a nearby palette. In front of him, a large horizontal canvas shows his progress on a dynamic composition depicting a bullfighter being caught by the horns of a bull, a complex scene rendered with fragmented forms against a dark background.
