Julio Aparicio. Arles 1959. A bullfight Picasso attended (see "Picasso").
In a sandy arena in Arles, matador Julio Aparicio confronts a charging bull during a bullfight attended by Pablo Picasso in 1959. Dressed in an ornate "suit of lights," Aparicio holds a sword and muleta, poised for action. The bull, with several banderillas in its back and shoulders, has its head lowered. In the background, a crowd of spectators watches intently from the stands, witnessing the peak of the confrontation between man and beast.
