Jose Montero defies the bull. Bullfight scenes at the corrida put on in Picasso's honor. Vallauris 1955. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

Matador Jose Montero kneels in the dirt arena, defying the bull during a corrida organized in Pablo Picasso’s honor in Vallauris, 1955. Seen from behind in his ornate suit of lights, Montero holds his position with one hand on his hip as the bull stands extremely close, its head turned toward the kneeling figure. In the background, a crowd of spectators watches the tense scene unfold from behind a high wooden fence.
