Julio Aparicio. Corrida des vendanges. Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

Matador Julio Aparicio, dressed in a traditional "traje de luces," guides a charging bull past his body with a muleta during the Corrida des vendanges in Arles, 1959. The bull is a blur of motion, its head low as it kicks up dust from the sandy arena, passing perilously close to the bullfighter. This tense and graceful moment of confrontation was witnessed by a crowd of spectators that included Pablo Picasso.
