About the Item

This exquisite heliogravure after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) originates from the rare 1961 album Pablo Picasso, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters). Published by Les Editions Cercle d'Art, Paris, under the direction of Charles Feld, and printed by Bosson et Auclair, Paris, during the second quarter of 1961, this edition presents a series of striking visual meditations on the bullfight—a subject that profoundly resonated with Picasso throughout his life. Created in collaboration with noted bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, Toros y Toreros (Bulls and Bullfighters) unites text, photography, and Picasso’s dynamic graphic language to capture the rhythm, power, and ritual of the corrida. Executed on velin paper, this heliogravure measures 14.75 x 10.5 inches (37.47 x 26.67 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized 1961 publication format. This edition, realized under Charles Feld’s direction, preserves the expressive linework, tonal nuance, and kinetic immediacy of Picasso’s original drawings, exemplifying his masterful translation of motion and emotion into print.

About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose revolutionary vision redefined modern art in the 20th century. Born in Malaga, Spain, he demonstrated prodigious talent from an early age and trained in Barcelona and Madrid before moving to Paris, where he became the epicenter of avant-garde innovation. Picasso pioneered Cubism alongside Georges Braque, explored emotional depth through his Blue and Rose periods, and continually reinvented his style across thousands of works in painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking. His influence spans movements from Surrealism to abstraction, and his work remains central to global art history. The highest price ever paid for one of his artworks is approximately US $179.4 million for Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) (Women of Algiers, Version O) (1955).
