Luis Miguel Dominguin. Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the sun-drenched stone amphitheater of Nîmes, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin faces a black bull in 1960. This high-angle shot captures the historic venue filled to capacity with spectators, among them Pablo Picasso. Dressed in a traditional suit of lights, Dominguin holds a brilliant red cape, or muleta, in the sandy arena. A colorful, ribbon-like device is attached to the back of the stationary bull. The warm, grainy quality of the photograph enhances the atmosphere of the event.
