168 Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) – Acrobat on Horseback – Lithograph from Toros y Toreros (1961)
This lithograph by Pablo Picasso, dated 10.7.59 and published in the 1961 volume Toros y Toreros, captures a moment of bold motion and abstraction. In a few expressive black lines over gray wash, Picasso outlines a dynamic acrobat balancing atop a rearing horse. The fluid contours and calligraphic energy evoke both immediacy and controlled spontaneity, characteristic of Picasso's graphic works from the late 1950s. Despite its apparent simplicity, the image conveys power, tension, and grace.
As part of Toros y Toreros, this lithograph was published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris alongside text by famed bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín. The series explores themes of spectacle, ritual, and human-animal interaction, blending Picasso’s lifelong interest in the Spanish corrida with his late mastery of line and gesture.
