El Cordobés. Fréjus 1965. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the sandy arena of Fréjus in 1965, the matador El Cordobés, clad in an ornate "suit of lights," engages a large, dark bull. As a crowd watches from the tiered stands, El Cordobés holds his cape low to the ground, and the bull, head down and horns forward, charges past it, kicking up dust. A decorated *banderilla* is visible in its back. This moment of dynamic action and focused tension was witnessed by Pablo Picasso, who was among the spectators.
