Antonio Casero
Circa 1960 original travel poster Courses de Taureaux Espagne by Antonio Casero

Circa 1960

About the Item

The circa 1960 original travel poster Courses de Taureaux – Espagne by Antonio Casero is a striking representation of Spanish bullfighting culture. Designed to promote tourism in Spain, this poster was commissioned by the Spanish National Tourism Office, capturing the energy and spectacle of bullfighting as a quintessential aspect of Spanish heritage. Antonio Casero, a Spanish artist known for his dynamic depictions of traditional scenes, skillfully conveys the drama of the bullring in this artwork. The composition centers on a matador elegantly maneuvering his cape, drawing the charge of a powerful black bull. The background reveals the arena's architecture, filled with an audience watching the unfolding spectacle. The use of bold brushstrokes and rich, warm tones enhances the sense of movement, passion, and tradition. The typography at the bottom of the poster features "Courses de Taureaux" and "Espagne", targeting a French-speaking audience, indicative of Spain’s effort to attract international visitors to its renowned bullfighting arenas. This poster is part of a broader mid-20th-century campaign in which Spain used vivid, painterly posters to promote its culture, landscapes, and traditions to travelers. Today, this poster is a sought-after collector’s piece, valued for its historical and artistic significance. It not only serves as a reminder of Spain’s deep-rooted cultural traditions but also stands as an example of the golden age of travel posters, where artistry played a pivotal role in shaping tourism imagery.
