Luis Miguel Dominguin. Arles 1960. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In the Arles Amphitheatre in 1960, matador Luis Miguel Dominguin, wearing an ornate suit of lights, stands as a large, dark bull charges past him. His arm is extended, his hand brushing the animal's tail in a display of proximity and control. Behind a wooden barrier, an audience watches against the backdrop of the arena's massive stone walls, where a lone boy sits high above, observing the spectacle. Pablo Picasso was also in attendance at this bullfight.
