Luis Miguel Dominguin. Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the sandy arena of Nimes in 1960, the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin executes a swift pass. Dressed in an ornate "traje de luces," he arches his body away from the powerful, dark bull as it charges past, his muleta a blur of motion. The muscular bull, its head lowered and several banderillas lodged in its shoulders, kicks up sand from the arena floor. Bright sunlight casts distinct shadows, highlighting the intense action of the scene, which was witnessed by Pablo Picasso.
