Bullfighter Pepe Luis Marca. Local Corrida in honor of Picasso. Vallauris 1954. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
In the sandy arena of Vallauris, bullfighter Pepe Luis Marca faces a bull during a local corrida held in honor of Pablo Picasso in 1954. Dressed in an ornate “traje de luces,” the matador stands on the right, holding a muleta and sword, his long shadow cast before him. A dense crowd of spectators, including Picasso, watches the event from tiered seating behind a wooden barrier under the bright daylight.
