Julio Aparicio. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
Matador Julio Aparicio, in his traditional "traje de luces," stands poised with his cape before a charging bull. The scene unfolds in the vast Roman amphitheater of Arles, its ancient stone tiers densely packed with thousands of spectators. The black and white tones highlight the dramatic contrast between the blurred motion of the bull and the matador's focused stance. Pablo Picasso was among the audience for this 1960 bullfight.
