About the Item

Original Limited Edition Duotone on Vellum Paper. Edition: 1500, plus proofs. Paper Size: 14.75 x 10.5 inches. Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Catalogue Raisonne Reference: Goeppert & Cramer 112; Bloch 1014-1017; Freitag 7495. Excellent condition; unframed. Notes: Published by Editions Cercle d’art in Paris, France. From the volume, Toros Y Toreros, a 1961 publication of bullfighting drawings by Pablo Picasso with text by bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin (translated from Spanish by Georges Franck) and an essay by Georges Boudaille. The title of the book is handwritten by Picasso. Picasso created the cover page and illustrations using a series of three sketchbooks. The technique utilized a quasi systematic use of brush ink wash, reproducing the sketches on Arches paper. The drawings were printed in Mourlot Studio, the famous lithographic studio that worked with Picasso, among other artists such as Matisse and Chagall in Paris, France. The text was printed and the volume bound in the Netherlands for distribution within Europe. These drawings by Picasso covered a period from 1950 to 1960, during which time he enjoyed seeing Dominguin bullfight in the arenas of Nîmes, Arles, Frejus and Vallauris. The leading graphics of this publication contain a series of reproductions of color drawings selected from the first two notebooks, as well as a lithograph of February 7, 1961. The works deal with all stages of bullfighting and Georges Boudaille highlights Picasso's persevering loyalty to portraying the theme of bullfighting since 1890. PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes.
