Pablo Picasso with a Spanish wicker mask of a bull, originally intended for bullfighters' training, takes a lesson in bull fighting from an expert, the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.
In his light-filled studio at Villa La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso receives a bullfighting lesson from the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin. Dressed in patterned trousers, Picasso holds a Spanish wicker bull mask—originally intended for training—while Dominguin, in a dark V-neck sweater, gestures to demonstrate a technique. The scene unfolds amidst easels and canvases on the herringbone floor of the artist’s studio in 1959.
