bullfight put on in Picasso's honor (80. birthday). Vallauris 29 Oct 1961. Dominguin tötet zu Pablo Ehren einen Stier. Das war in Frankreich verboten: »Eine Rechtsanwältin des Tierschutzvereins«, erzählte Picassos Anwalt Maitre Antebi, »reichte gegen Dominguin Klage ein, und der wurde zu einer Geldstrafe von 100'000 Francs verurteilt. Ich legte Berufung ein, und alles in allem hat es schließlich 5000 Francs gekostet. Pablo entschied, die Strafe seines Freundes selbst zu zahlen.« (Widmaier-Picasso, Porträt der Familie, p.213)
A large crowd gathers in Vallauris on 29 October 1961 for a bullfight held in honor of Pablo Picasso's 80th birthday. On a raised platform, men in suits address the spectators, who are so densely packed that some have climbed a tree for a better view. For this occasion, the matador Dominguin killed a bull for his friend, an act illegal in France. The resulting fine, following an appeal, was ultimately paid by Picasso himself.
