There are only ten pictures, a relatively small exhibition, yet it meets with the English media at large. Spain's largest media conglomerate Grupo Vocento the (ABC, El Correo, Ideal, Hoy, Que etc), for example, has already brought several reports on the exhibition. Since comparisons are attached with Goya, Tiziano , El Greco and Verlásquez , or to recognize a grandstanding as theatrical representation of a Caravaggio . Even in the bright shade gambling spots seen many a Manet .
Which artistic features into one may interpret at all for the aficionado this exhibition is certainly appealing. As surely contributes to the fact that the six large paintings are hung very low. Thus, the viewer is actually transferred to the bottom of the facts, he embarks on a par with the toreros . He watches the action not as the audience of the top tendidos but from Ruedo yourself or by callejón from . So the visitors to the shareholders of bullfighting the corrida goyesca from voyeur to complicity.
Closer he witnessed a dispute between two rivals, the result ends in death, was to end. Powerful animalistic instinct which is at the end of the elegant human intellect are at your feet.
particularly important for Eric Fischl is the image number 4 It represents the torero César Rincón , who after a successful estocada the toro endure one of his last seconds, slowly back turned toward the audience and turns. The eyes of the animal can only be guessed at, but the attitude betrays a mixture of sadness and without the real understanding of what actually happened here. And therein lies the real dilemma of a toro bravo .
Finally, one of the artists can also participate personally in the triumph of Matadores and its cuadrilla .
