The vivid contrast of magentas, blues, and golds intensifies the theatrical tension between man and beast.

The piece is a striking blend of figuration and emotional energy, characteristic of Tuser’s taurine works. 👤 About the Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez José María Tuser Vázquez was a Spanish painter born in Barcelona in 1919.
