In the Vallauris arena, 1954, Spanish torero Jose Montero, clad in an elaborate "traje de luces," adopts a dynamic low stance. He guides a dark bull with his cape, the animal's head lowered and focused on the fabric just inches away. In the grandstand behind a wooden barrier, a crowd of spectators watches the tense action, among them Françoise Gilot, Pablo Picasso, and their son Claude.
