During the filming of 'Le mystère Picasso' at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso paints a dramatic bullfight. The large, unframed Cubist canvas depicts the violent moment a bullfighter is caught on the horns of the bull. A work in progress, it rests on a wooden shelf cluttered with art supplies, including a palette of mixed paints and a stained rag. Faint chalk sketches are visible on the studio wall behind the artwork.
