At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on the film "Le mystère Picasso." Captured in profile, the shirtless artist is intently focused on his palette, paintbrush poised. He is creating a bullfight scene in which the matador is caught by the horns of the bull, a moment rendered in bold, fragmented forms of deep purple, olive green, black, and white. In the background, chalk sketches are visible on the studio wall.
