For Pablo Picasso’s 80th birthday, a bullfight was held in his honor in Vallauris on 29 October 1961. Leaning forward intently from the front row, the artist watches as bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin stands in the ring. Dominguin and fellow matador Domingo Ortega both killed a bull—an act forbidden in France. Here, Dominguin presents the ears to Picasso, who later paid the resulting 5,000 Franc fine. A photographer inside the enclosure captures the dynamic scene as the packed crowd looks on.
