Bilder Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) – Torero and Bull – Lithograph from Toros y Toreros (1961)

Beskrivning

This vivid lithograph by Pablo Picasso was created on July 10, 1959 and published in the celebrated 1961 volume Toros y Toreros. The image captures the dynamic energy of a bullfight through abstracted motion and bold color contrasts. A black bull surges forward, enveloped in expressive arcs of red, while the torero — dressed in vibrant hues of blue, yellow, and pink — moves in a sweeping gesture. The composition pulses with tension and rhythm, characteristic of Picasso's late-period work, where form is distilled to emotional and symbolic essence.

Toros y Toreros was published in 1961 by Maeght Éditeur in Paris and features text by bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín alongside Picasso’s evocative lithographs. This series reflects Picasso’s lifelong fascination with the corrida as both cultural spectacle and metaphor for human conflict and artistry.
