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

In the Arles arena in 1959, at a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso, matador Julio Aparicio is pictured in a moment of high tension. As a dark bull lowers its head towards a cape on the sand, one of two matadors dressed in ornate "suits of lights" extends a sword over the animal's back. His other hand rests on the head of his companion, who holds the cape. Behind the wooden barrier, another bullfighter and several spectators look on.
