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 works on a massive canvas during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Seen from behind in a patterned shirt and shorts, he paints a dramatic cubist-style scene of a bullfighter being caught by the horns of a bull. A large film camera in the foreground documents his intense creation, while dramatic lighting from the right casts a strong shadow of the artist across the pockmarked studio wall.
