166 Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) – Picador and Matador in the Arena – Lithograph from Toros y Toreros (1961)
This monochromatic lithograph by Pablo Picasso, dated 1959 and published in the 1961 edition of Toros y Toreros, depicts a dramatic prelude to the bullfight: a picador mounted on horseback and a matador standing beside him. Rendered in bold, gestural black ink washes, the composition captures the heavy atmosphere and tense anticipation of the moment. The overhead structure evokes the shaded canopy of the bullring, while the blurred, abstracted forms emphasize movement, ritual, and presence.
Toros y Toreros, published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris, combines text by bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín with Picasso’s striking visual interpretations of the corrida. The work exemplifies Picasso’s expressive economy of form and his enduring fascination with themes of courage, danger, and spectacle.
