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

In the sunlit arena of Arles in 1960, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin performs a dramatic pass on a charging bull. Dressed in a light-colored, embroidered "traje de luces," he is captured mid-motion as the large, dark animal, its back pierced with banderillas, lunges past. From the packed stone stands, a crowd of spectators, which included Pablo Picasso, watches the action intently. Strong shadows are cast on the dusty ground of the bullring.
