About the Item
This exquisite heliogravure after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled 11.3.59., from the album Pablo Picasso, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters), originates from the 1961 edition published by Les Editions Cercle d'Art, Paris, under the direction of Charles Feld, and printed by Bosson et Auclair, Paris, 1961. The composition captures Picassos enduring fascination with the bullfight—an archetype of passion, movement, and myth—rendered with dynamic energy and mastery of line that reflects both his Spanish heritage and lifelong engagement with the theme of the toro.
Executed as a heliogravure on velin paper, this work measures 14.75 x 10.5 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of Bosson et Auclair, Paris.

About the Publication:
Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters), published in 1961 by Les Editions Cercle d'Art under the direction of Charles Feld, stands among Pablo Picassos most significant artist albums. The album unites Picassos expressive studies of bullfighting with text by celebrated matador Luis Miguel Dominguin and commentary by art critic Georges Boudaille. The publication chronicles the artists deep fascination with the arena, a theme that recurred throughout his life as a metaphor for vitality, struggle, and creation. Produced in Paris with exceptional attention to detail, the album was printed by Bosson et Auclair, with lithographic contributions by Fernand Mourlot and typographic design by Imprimerie Union. Its vivid heliogravures and lithographs capture the theatrical intensity of the corrida, blending artistic mastery with cultural ritual. Toros y Toreros epitomizes the collaborative excellence of mid-20th-century Parisian printmaking, combining literature, design, and art into a unified expression of modern creativity.
About the Artist:
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picassos career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) achieved a record-breaking sale of 179,365,000 USD at Christie's, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picassos enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.
