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.
Shirtless and holding a lit cigarette, Pablo Picasso is captured mid-motion as he leans forward to paint. His large Cubist canvas portrays a dramatic bullfight—the moment a bullfighter is caught by the bull’s horns. The studio lighting casts a distinct shadow of the artist’s head onto his own creation. This scene was documented during the filming of “Le mystère Picasso” at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
