During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso stands engrossed in his work. With his back mostly to the camera, the artist leans forward, applying a paintbrush to a large canvas. The dramatic, Cubist-style painting portrays a stage in the bullfight when the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. The functional studio is cluttered with art supplies, and stark lighting casts strong shadows, highlighting Picasso's intense focus on his creation.
