Julio Aparicio. Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
Matador Julio Aparicio, dressed in an ornate, embroidered “traje de luces,” confronts a bull in the Arles arena, 1959. He holds a sword and muleta, captured mid-motion as he engages the animal, which has several banderillas in its back and its head lowered. Behind a wooden barrier, a crowd fills the stands to watch the bullfight, an event also attended by Pablo Picasso.
