Pablo Picasso — Pique (Bullfight)
Pablo Picasso

Pique (Bullfight)

A dynamic and expressive linocut by Pablo Picasso, *Pique (Bullfight)* captures the raw energy and drama of the traditional Spanish corrida with bold, gestural lines and stark contrasts characteristic of his late graphic work. Printed by Arnéra and published by Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris in 1960, this signed and numbered impression (18/50) reflects Picasso's masterful command of the linocut medium. Part of a limited edition of fifty, along with approximately twenty artist's proofs, the work stands as a testament to Picasso's enduring fascination with the bullfight as a symbol of power, struggle, and spectacle.

Medium
Signed and numbered 18/50 in pencil (there were also approximately 20 artist’s proofs), printed by Arnéra, published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris, 1960, framed.
