Paco Camino, Nimes 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
In the Nimes arena in 1960, matador Paco Camino confronts a charging bull. Dressed in an ornate suit of lights, he stands poised, swirling the muleta as the bull’s front hooves kick up dust from the sand. Several decorated darts, or banderillas, are lodged in the animal’s back and shoulders. The stands are packed with spectators, and a banner for the “UNION TAURINE NÎMOISE” is visible on the wall separating the crowd from the ring.
