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, completely absorbed in his work during the 1955 filming of *Le mystère Picasso*. Dressed casually in shorts and sandals, he extends his arm to a large canvas, painting a dynamic scene from a bullfight: the moment a matador is caught on the horns of the bull. The improvised easel, spartan surroundings, and dramatic side lighting cast deep shadows, heightening the atmosphere of intense creative focus.
