Luis Miguel Dominguin. Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
In the Nimes arena in 1960, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin stands in a moment of focused anticipation. Clad in an ornate "traje de luces," he looks downward, his muleta draped on the sand as he grips his sword. Opposite him, within a white circle, a large bull lowers its head, several banderillas already protruding from its shoulders. This tense confrontation, which took place before a banner for the "UNION TAURINE NIMO," was witnessed by spectators filling the stands, among them Pablo Picasso.
