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.
Pablo Picasso stands in profile before a large canvas during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Holding a paintbrush, he intently studies his bold, Cubist-style work, which portrays a bullfighter caught by the horns of a bull. The painting rests on a mantelpiece in the cluttered studio, brilliantly illuminated by a stark, theatrical light. This high-contrast lighting catches the side of the artist's face and casts a long, dark shadow behind him, accentuating the moment of intense creation.
