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.
A film crew at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice documents Pablo Picasso at work for the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. From a high angle, a vintage camera is aimed at a large Cubist painting depicting a bullfighter being caught on the horns of a bull. The canvas rests on a cluttered shelf, intensely illuminated by studio lights that cast deep shadows. In the foreground, silhouetted observers watch the act of creation, surrounded by the tools of both painting and filmmaking.
