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, seen from behind, works on a large painting portraying the moment a bullfighter is caught by the horns of a bull. The scene was captured at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the 1955 filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s “Le mystère Picasso.” Dressed in a patterned shirt and shorts, the artist leans towards the canvas, which rests on a cluttered workbench amidst paintbrushes and cans. Stark lighting from a high source illuminates his form and the bold, Cubist-style work in progress.
