Riassunto

Photographer Ricardo Sanchez's vivid artworks and text reflect this exquisite pas de deux, where the bull and the bullfighter trace the lines and forms of their existence with each pass. An intersection of tradition, culture, art, and nature; this book visually demonstrates that a bullfight is a ballet's pas de deux and offers a different view on what is sometimes considered a brutal sport.

Dalla quarta di copertina

In this unrivaled collection, photographer Ricardo B. Sanchez’s vividly arresting artwork and text reflect a marvelous “pas de deux,” where the bull and the bullfighter trace the lines and forms of their existence with each encounter in the ring. Here is a unique study of the intersection of tradition, culture, art, and nature in this ancient rite that the author compares to a ballet’s pas de deux.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

The unrivaled drama of bullfighting, with its rigorous combination of athleticism and artistry, and its requisite display of grace under pressure, ignited Hemingway's imagination and inspired him to write his classic work on the subject, "Death in the Afternoon." That same inspiration has taken hold of photographer Ricardo B. Sanchez to create the most unique and elegant record of what is and has always been one of the most controversial "sports" practiced by man. Some contend that bullfighting remains one of the most artful and sophisticated means by which some cultures celebrate the bravery of the hunter. This ancient ritual illustrates the complex relationship between predator and prey, and between culture and nature.
