The photographer Hubertus Hierl (*1940) was able to photograph Pablo Picasso, with his consent, during a bullfight in Fréjus (southern France - August 7, 1966). A stroke of luck! The photographs show Picasso in a setting that was one of his great themes throughout his life: the bullfight. The complete series comprises more than 100 photographs of Picasso and is the last extensive documentation of Picasso in public.
Werner Spies, Picasso expert and former director of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, writes in the book "Picasso at the Bullfight": “Hubertus Hierl's photographs show anticipation, tension and fear … they show what Picasso sees and feels.”

Here is an opportunity to bid on photographs of Picasso by Hubertus Hierl (vintage - on gelatin silver/baryta paper) in the future. - Matted photographs - supplied unframed.

Provenance: directly from the artist's archive - authenticity guaranteed.
