For Pablo Picasso’s 80th birthday, bullfighters Domingo Ortega and Luis Miguel Dominguin staged a bullfight in his honor. In the sandy arena, one of the matadors, dressed in a dark suit, confronts a bull with his cape as a large crowd of spectators looks on. As killing the bull was forbidden in France, Picasso himself paid the resulting 5,000 Franc fine for the celebration. Vallauris, 29 October 1961.
