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.
During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955, one of Pablo Picasso’s paintings is propped on a makeshift stand at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. Rendered in stark black, white, and grey tones, the large Cubist work portrays a violent stage in a bullfight, with the bullfighter caught on the bull’s horns. The unrefined studio setting is evident, with paint cans and brushes scattered on the floor below the canvas, all captured in harsh light that emphasizes the raw, creative atmosphere.
