Picasso

Pablo Picasso is one of my favorite artists.  I wanted to share an interesting fact about him and his “Bull” drawings.  Picasso created “Bull” around the Christmas of 1945. It is a suite of eleven lithographs that have become a master class in how to develop an artwork from the academic (realism) to the abstract. In this series of images, all pulled from a single stone, Picasso visually dissects the image of a bull to discover its essential presence through a progressive analysis of its form. To start the series, Picasso creates a lively and realistic brush drawing of the bull in lithographic ink and slowly takes away detail until it is simply a line drawing.  Picasso used the bull as a metaphor throughout his artwork but he refused to be pinned down as to its meaning.
