Hand-signed in black ink by the photographer, titled, dated and copyrighted, verso - With photographer’s studio stamp, notes and hand-written reference number, verso // Lucien Clergue’s Chute de Picador, Béziers (1962) is a powerful black-and-white gelatin silver print that captures the intensity and drama of the bullfighting arena.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
