Antonio Ordóñez. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the Arles arena in 1960, matador Antonio Ordóñez stands poised during a bullfight also attended by Pablo Picasso. A large, dark bull is in mid-charge, its head low as it kicks up dust, its body a blur of motion. Ordóñez holds his muleta, which swirls around him, his focused stance contrasting with the animal's movement. In the background, under strong overhead sunlight that casts sharp shadows, a dense crowd watches intently from tiered stands.
