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 large painting during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Seen from his right side, the artist, dressed in a tank top and shorts, extends a brush to the canvas. The complex, abstract composition portrays a dramatic stage in a bullfight: the moment the bullfighter is caught by the bull’s horns. Below the artwork, a wooden shelf holds brushes and tubes of paint, with a palette of mixed colors resting on a nearby stand.
