Torero and Bull bullfighter bullfighting oil painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Torero and Bull
Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986)
Technique: Oil on canvas mounted on board
Dimensions: 18.9 x 15 inches
Framing: Unframed
Art Movement: Costumbrismo, Figurative Expressionism
Theme: Bullfighting
Date of Creation: Second half of the 20th century
DESCRIPTION
The painting Torero and Bull depicts a classic bullfighting scene, where a matador, elegantly dressed in a golden and violet traje de luces, performs a pass with the cape while the bull, wounded with banderillas, bows toward the ground. The composition conveys dynamism and tension, emphasizing the drama of the moment with loose and expressive brushstrokes.
The background is rendered in warm, diffused tones, contrasting with the deep black of the bull and the vivid hues of the cape. The thick brushwork and vibrant oil application enhance the sense of movement and emotion in the scene, a distinctive feature of Tuser Vázquez’s bullfighting paintings.
ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY
José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specializing in bullfighting themes.

Cape Maneuver bullfighter oil painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Cape Maneuver
Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 – 1986)
Technique: Oil on canvas mounted on board
Dimensions: 19.7 x 23.6 in (50 x 60 cm)
Date: Circa 1980s
Signature: Signed "Tuser" in the lower left corner
Condition: Excellent; thick, vibrant brushwork and vivid colors well preserved.
📝 Description
This painting captures a dramatic moment in the bullfight — the classic verónica — as the matador gracefully halts the bull’s charge with a sweeping motion of the cape. The vivid contrast of magentas, blues, and golds intensifies the theatrical tension between man and beast. The composition is dynamic yet controlled, emphasizing the poise of the torero against the raw force of the bull.
The expressive brushstrokes and thick impasto enhance the sense of movement, while the abstracted background ensures focus remains on the central figures. The piece is a striking blend of figuration and emotional energy, characteristic of Tuser’s taurine works.
👤 About the Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez
