Description

A dramatic, mid-century expressionist depiction of a bullfight, capturing a matador from behind facing a large black bull. The matador is outfitted in a traditional "traje de luces" (suit of lights) rendered in textured impasto highlights of golden yellow, cerulean blue, and striking pink stockings, holding a bright red muleta capote in his right hand. The dark, atmospheric background features visible, energetic brushwork and scraped paint techniques, creating a tense, moody arena setting. Housed in its original vintage tiered dark wood frame featuring a textured off-white fabric linen liner. Hand-signed by the artist in white paint in the lower right corner.
