Bullfight: The Pas de Deux
Ricardo B. Sanchez
With an Essay by Rosa Olivares
November 2011

Contemporary bullfighting is probably the most artful and sophisticated way certain cultures celebrate the bravery of the hunter. This ancient ritual can also illustrate the complex relationship between predator and prey, and between culture and nature. Internationally renowned photographer Richardo Sanchez's vivid artworks and text reflect this exquisite "pas de deux", where the bull and the bullfighter trace the lines and forms of their existence with each pass. The texts provide detailed descriptions of what the passes mean in the bullring and what they represent as metaphors of broader relationships between nature and humans. Here the reader can actually see what has made bullfighting an art form in Spain and other countries where it is so revered: it really is a ballet pas de deux.
