Bullfighter Pepe Luis Marca. Local Corrida in honor of Picasso. Vallauris 1954. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").

In a sandy bullring in Vallauris, bullfighter Pepe Luis Marca engages a young bull during a local corrida held in honor of Pablo Picasso in 1954. Clad in a traditional embroidered "traje de luces," Marca guides the animal in a pass with his cape. In the background, a large crowd of spectators, dressed in mid-20th-century attire, leans forward from the stands to watch the event, which Picasso himself attended.
