In the crowded grandstand of the Arles amphitheater, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, John Richardson, Douglas Cooper, and Paulo Picasso watch a bullfight in 1959. Below, in the narrow passageway between the ring and the stands, photographers capture the action as matador Luis Miguel Dominguin, dressed in his "suit of lights," leans over the wooden barrier. The stone stands are packed with spectators, a striped flag draped over the front.
