Corrida II 1951

"Corrida II" is a 1951 painting by Cuban-born artist Oscar Dominguez. The work depicts the dramatic scene of a bullfight, capturing the tension and danger of the sport. The composition is a bold, stylized representation, with flattened figures and geometric shapes, characteristic of Dominguez's artistic style. The use of strong contrasts between black and white, along with vibrant pops of red and yellow, creates a dynamic and compelling visual narrative. The artist's fascination with the cultural traditions of Spain is evident in the subject matter, which explores themes of bravery, power, and ritual.
