Beskrivning

This vibrant crayon drawing by Pablo Picasso, dated 1 August 1957, depicts an abstracted view of an arena and surrounding houses, rendered in a lively, gestural style with bold primary colors. The composition, marked by swirling lines and expressive forms, is part of Picasso’s celebrated Toros y Toreros series, which explores the drama, ritual, and architecture of the bullfight through spontaneous and energetic line work. The piece captures the movement of both the crowd and the landscape, transforming the scene into a symbolic and emotional tableau.

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, co-founding the Cubist movement and reshaping modern art across painting, sculpture, and printmaking. In the 1950s, he revisited themes of Spanish identity and spectacle, producing a dynamic body of work that fused his classical training with modernist innovation.
