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

Dressed in a "suit of lights," matador Luis Miguel Dominguin stands poised in the Arles arena as a bull charges past in 1960. The animal’s speed is captured in a slight blur as it kicks up dust from the sandy ground, decorated barbs known as banderillas visible on its back. In the stands behind a wooden barrier, a crowd of spectators in mid-century attire, including Pablo Picasso, watches the dramatic confrontation.
