Jean Cocteau, Douglas Cooper, John Richardson (far right). Bullfight, Nimes 1960. (Photos in the bull ring of this bullfight see "Miscellanous".)

In the packed Roman arena of Nîmes, Jean Cocteau, art historian Douglas Cooper, and curator John Richardson (far right) attend a bullfight in 1960. Seated in a front-row box, a focused Cocteau sits beside an amused Cooper, who wears thick-rimmed glasses and a patterned ascot. Behind them, a vendor stands on a bench offering programs and straw cushions to the thousands of spectators filling the tiered stone stands on a bright day.
