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.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is captured from behind while working on a large canvas. Dressed simply in shorts and sandals, he contemplates his Cubist composition: a dramatic bullfight scene where the matador is caught on the bull's horns. The photograph was taken in 1955 during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso," the artist and his cluttered studio illuminated by a strong light that underscores the intense atmosphere of creation.
