In 1955, at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is captured from behind during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Shirtless and wearing dark shorts, the artist actively paints on a monumental canvas, his brush bringing to life a dramatic bullfight. The abstract, cubist-style work portrays the moment a bullfighter is caught by the horns of a powerful bull. Below the painting, his brushes, paints, and palette are arranged in the studio setting.
