Bullfight: The Pas de Deux Hardcover - 2012
by Ricardo Sanchez; Rosa Olivares (With)
From the rear cover
In this unrivaled collection, photographer Ricardo B. Sanchez's vividly arresting artwork and text reflect a marvelous "pas de deux," where the bull and the bullfighter trace the lines and forms of their existence with each encounter in the ring. Here is a unique study of the intersection of tradition, culture, art, and nature in this ancient rite that the author compares to a ballet's pas de deux.
From the jacket flap
The unrivaled drama of bullfighting, with its rigorous combination of athleticism and artistry, and its requisite display of grace under pressure, ignited Hemingway's imagination and inspired him to write his classic work on the subject, "Death in the Afternoon." That same inspiration has taken hold of photographer Ricardo B. Sanchez to create the most unique and elegant record of what is and has always been one of the most controversial "sports" practiced by man. Some contend that bullfighting remains one of the most artful and sophisticated means by which some cultures celebrate the bravery of the hunter. This ancient ritual illustrates the complex relationship between predator and prey, and between culture and nature.
