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

In the Arles bullring in 1959, the matador Julio Aparicio kneels on one knee in the sand, facing a large, dark bull. Dressed in an ornate "suit of lights," he holds his cape (muleta) on the ground. The bull, its head lowered and a banderilla in its back, stands just feet away. The photograph captures the tense confrontation during a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso.
