About the Item
Signed lower left, 'John Fulton' (American, 1933-1998) and painted circa 1995.
The original oil painting for the poster advertising the appearance of Manolo Gonzalez at the Maestranza bullring in Seville and showing the celebrated bullfighter in an emerald suit of lights, holding his espada at the ready, while deflecting the enraged bull with his red cape.
John Fulton was an American bullfighter and painter who settled in Seville. Born in Philadelphia, he received a scholarship to an art school in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, in the early 1950s. During this time, he studied both painting and bullfighting, killing his first calf there in 1953. In 1954, Fulton joined the U.S. Army and continued and continued painting and bullfighting on his downtime. After his release in 1956, he moved to Spain where he studied bullfighting under Juan Belmonte and performed as a novillero (novice) with some of Spain’s leading matadors. In July 1963, Fulton was sponsored by José María Montilla to take his 'alternativa' at the Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, pictured in the posted above and was confirmed in Madrid with the title 'Matador de Toros' in 1967. He is one of only two Americans to receive this honor. He shared posters with well-known figures such as El Cordobés, Antonio Ordóñez and Pepe Luis Vázquez. After retiring in 1994, he devoted himself fully to painting. Fulton exhibited his paintings at the Instituto Allende and at Galeria Izamal.

"A Frenchman and His Cow"

This cow knows her power; her man’s shirt is color-coordinated to her bridle. It would be hard to imagine any cocky tech bro prouder of his new Verde Mantis (Green) Lambo than this dewy-eyed farmer with his most productive bovine, hopefully the source of a divine cheese.
Done in the classic palette of Provence, and abundant with the area’s renowned grape clusters, sunflowers and pears, it comes with a promise to transport you to that land of eternal sunshine (well, except for the Mistral season).
