170 Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) – Fait à l’envers, 4.10.59 – Toros y Toreros – Lithograph (1961)
This expressive lithograph by Pablo Picasso, dated October 4, 1959, is part of the Toros y Toreros series, published in 1961. Titled Fait à l’envers ("Made in Reverse"), the artwork features abstract facial profiles rendered in bold black lines. The faces are juxtaposed in a surreal arrangement, reflecting Picasso's experimentation with form and perspective. The composition is further enriched with handwritten annotations, including the date, the phrase "fait à l’envers," and the artist's characteristic signature. The minimalist yet evocative line work speaks to Picasso's mastery in capturing emotion and movement with simplicity.
The Toros y Toreros series embodies Picasso's fascination with the Spanish bullfight and its associated characters, rendered with raw spontaneity and interpretive freedom. Produced by Mourlot in Paris and published by Cercle d’Art, this edition is a testament to Picasso's exploration of abstraction and expressive minimalism during his later years.
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, known for pioneering Cubism and redefining modern art through an array of innovative techniques. His later works, like Toros y Toreros, reflect a liberated approach to form and subject, characterized by spontaneity and raw expressiveness.
