Curated by noted Picasso biographer John Richardson, this exhibition catalogue examines the intersection of Picasso s bullfighting imagery with the mythological (and biographical) compositions of the 1930 s. Including works dating from 1897 to 1972, this fully illustrated catalogue presents a career-long survey of Picasso s engagement with ancient bullfighting and mythological narratives and includes essays by noted Picasso scholars Michael FitzGerald and Gertje Utley.
