Mixed Media Brutalist Bullfighter and Bull Sculpture

This is a mid-twentieth-century Brutalist-style sculpture depicting a matador and a bull, mounted on a rectangular stained wooden base. The piece is constructed primarily of welded and hammered metal, likely copper and scrap iron. The matador features a textured, punctuated copper-toned outfit with visible rivet-like details and a red-painted metal muleta. His head is a dark, spherical metal piece with simple circular cutouts for eyes. The bull is rendered in a heavy, dark patinated metal with a hunched, stylized form characteristic of the Brutalist aesthetic. Notable craftsmanship is seen in the intentional welding scars and rough edges that provide a raw, industrial feel. The base includes a small metallic plaque, suggesting it may be a gallery piece or a limited production. Condition appears fair to good, with visible oxidation and minor scuffing on the painted surfaces consistent with an age of 40-60 years. The overall composition uses geometric simplicity to convey movement and tension between the two figures.
