This original 1983 poster from the Plaza de Toros de Sevilla captures the vibrant pageantry of Seville’s iconic Feria de Abril and Domingo de Resurrección events. The featured artwork, painted by J. Cros Estrems in 1976, was later chosen to headline the 1983 season, showcasing a striking matadora figure draped in a richly detailed pink capote; a symbol of both the beauty and bravado of Andalusian bullfighting tradition - with a feminine twist!
More than a schedule of bullfights, this poster represents the cultural resurgence of Andalusian identity in post-Franco Spain. For nearly four decades under Francisco Franco’s dictatorship (1939–1975), Spain’s regional art institutions were censored and pressured to conform to a centralized national identity. Traditional events like the Feria de Abril, while permitted, were often stripped of their deeper regional symbolism. This poster, published just eight years after the end of the regime, reflects a reawakening of local pride and artistic expression.
Printed in Seville by Litografía Ortega, this large-format poster advertises 13 bullfights and other festivities for April 1983, including a special comic show with “El Bombero Torero y sus Enanitos.” A bold artifact from Spain’s cultural reawakening, it’s a powerful combination of fine art, performance, and political history.
