Corrida. Wounded Torero (Corrida. Torero blessé) 1933

Pablo Picasso's 1933 etching "Corrida. Wounded Torero" depicts the brutality of bullfighting, a theme the artist frequently explored in his work. The scene unfolds with fragmented, gestural lines, characteristic of Picasso's style. The dynamic composition emphasizes the power of the bull as it charges at the fallen torero. Picasso's use of line, not only outlines the forms but also conveys the intense energy and emotion of the moment, creating a sense of urgency and violence. This work is a powerful commentary on the artist's anti-war and anti-violence sentiments.
