Antonio Ordóñez. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
In the bullfighting arena of Arles in 1960, matador Antonio Ordóñez confronts a charging bull. As the powerful animal passes with its head lowered, Ordóñez, in his ornate suit, guides it with a large cape, or muleta, kicking up dust from the sandy ring. From behind a wooden barrier, fellow bullfighters watch the dramatic moment unfold before a crowd of intent spectators. This bullfight was notably attended by Pablo Picasso.
