Fine art by Marc Chagall (Lithograph) Le Picador II
is a color lithograph created by Pablo Picasso in 1961 for his book, "A Los Toros avec Picasso" ("To the Bulls with Picasso").
Additional details about the work:
Artist: Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973)
Medium: Lithograph printed in 24 colors on wove paper
Dates: The lithograph is dated twice in the plate as "6.3.61 II" and "21.4.61". The first date refers to the black-and-white drawing, and the second date indicates when Picasso added the colors to the image.
Size: Approximately 9 x 12 inches (22.9 x 30.5 cm).
Edition: While the book itself had an unnumbered edition, there were also limited, signed editions of the lithograph. The print studio Mourlot in Paris was responsible for the printing.
The artwork depicts a picador, a mounted bullfighter who uses a lance to weaken the bull's neck muscles during a bullfight. This theme was a recurring subject in Picasso's work and was one of his first subjects in printmaking. |
