matador school (noun)
A specialized academy where students are trained in the traditional sport and performance of bullfighting. For a twelve-year-old Fernando Botero, his brief enrollment in a Colombian matador school became an unlikely launchpad for his art; instead of dodging charges, he sketched the massive, rounded animals, discovering the secret of volume and monumentality that would later define his iconic style, Boterismo.
