Like Goya, he is an artist close to the bull ring. He loves lean people whom adventure has brightened and blooded, who wear a jewel in their eyes. Gypsies from the hills, Gitano dancers, wild wandering singers, toreadors. These are his friends, But Zuloaga's conception of his art is less dramatic in spirit, less passionate and more pictorial. Much of his work is portraiture but of a type that, allowing for differences of technique, is more like that of Velasquez than of Goya in vividness. The U.

They had been so ill-advised as to report some piracies-of his. He went to their hotel, shot them. He was oppressed at his trial, which lasted over a month, as one forced to endure a protracted breach of good taste. When the sentence was read, he commiserated the jury...
