El Cordobés. Fréjus 1965. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the sunlit arena of Fréjus, 1965, the matador El Cordobés, dressed in an ornate gold and red suit, confronts a charging black bull. He holds a red cape, or muleta, as the bull lowers its head, kicking up dust from the sand. Several barbed banderillas are lodged in its back. Beyond the red barrier, a large crowd fills the stands; Pablo Picasso was among the spectators at this bullfight.
