Abstract

Bullfighting, is it an art? The journalist P.Cordelier does not pretend to know the answer; yet he shows us it is a source of inspiration and creation for many poets and painters, including Picasso and Goya. It has also inspired Provence painters. In literature, the corrida and the myth of bull and death are often used as allegorical themes, as highlighted by Jean Cocteau.
