Picasso's - COURSE DE TAUREAUX (Bullfight) is a colorful, abstract drawing portraying a bullfight scene with bullfighter, horse and bull as central figures. Picasso's use of crayon colors in rainbow shades of red, yellow, orange, purple, blue, and green filling in the dramatic black line drawing create a powerful energetic portrayal of the bullfight, one of his favorite artistic themes. COURSE DE TAUREAUX belongs to a series of works on bullfight themes that Picasso painted at the Château de Boisgeloup between June and September 1934. The series focused on the suerte de varas, the moment in the bullfight when the bull is pitted against the horse, as a symbolic embodiment of the struggle between man and woman. In some versions the bull is kept at bay by the picador’s lance; in others the ferocious animal succeeds in toppling the horse and even disembowelling it. Picasso was fascinated by the Spanish tradition of the corrida, or bullfight in the ring, during which skillful matadors and picadors struggle with proud and ferocious beasts in a fight to the death.
