Antonio Chamaco. Corrida des vendanges à Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the dusty bullring of Arles, matador Antonio Chamaco executes a pass on a charging bull during the Corrida des vendanges, 1959. Dressed in an ornate 'traje de luces,' he holds a cloth, blurred with movement, above the animal’s lowered head. As the bull passes, its hooves kick up sand. The stands are filled with spectators, including Pablo Picasso, intently observing the tense spectacle.
