Toros, 1960: Scène de Corrida

Pablo Picasso’s Toros series, created in 1960 is a compelling collection of lithographs celebrating the power and grace of the bull, a recurring motif in Picasso’s oeuvre. This series explores the animal’s form through a progression of increasingly abstracted representations, showcasing Picasso’s masterful ability to convey movement and emotion with minimal lines. The Toros series not only reflects Picasso’s deep fascination with bullfighting, a cultural tradition in his native Spain, but also his innovative approach to printmaking and his continuous quest to push the boundaries of artistic expression.
