Bilder Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) – 4.10.59 – Three Studies of Bull and Horsemen – Sepia Ink Drawing from the Toros y Toreros Series (1959)

Beskrivning

This rare sheet of three horizontal vignette studies dated 4.10.59 is part of Pablo Picasso’s Toros y Toreros series, executed in sepia ink. With swift, calligraphic brushstrokes, Picasso captures scenes of bulls, mounted picadors, and figures in rural or arena-like settings. The composition blends abstraction and figuration, emphasizing motion, rhythm, and the primal energy of bullfighting culture.

Drawn on a single sheet with variations in brush pressure and spacing, these sequential sketches convey the dynamic, unfolding rhythm of the bullfight.
Picasso created such works in a concentrated burst during autumn 1959, culminating in the 1961 Toros y Toreros publication, printed by Mourlot and issued by Cercle d’Art, Paris.
