Rejoneadora Three 1973

Editor: This is Dame Elisabeth Frink's "Rejoneadora Three," a print from an unknown date. The stark contrast between the black ink and the terracotta background really emphasizes the violence of the bullfight. What stands out to you? Curator: The materiality of the printmaking process itself speaks volumes. Consider the labor involved, the mass production of these images, and their consumption within a specific cultural context. How does that inform our understanding of the spectacle depicted? Editor: That's a great point. It makes you think about the ethics of portraying such a violent act, especially considering the artist's choices in the means of production. Curator: Exactly! It moves beyond mere representation to a commentary on the entire system surrounding the spectacle. Editor: This has definitely given me a fresh perspective. I'll never look at this print the same way again.
