TJURFÄKTNINGSSCEN 1934

"TJURFÄKTNINGSSCEN" (Bullfight Scene) is a 1934 watercolor painting by Swedish artist Gösta Adrian-Nilsson (1884-1965). The artwork depicts a dramatic scene from a bullfight, where a bullfighter attempts to evade a charging bull. The bull is rendered in a stylized manner, with its body contorted and its horns pointed towards the sky. The bullfighter is depicted in a more realistic style, but with a sense of urgency and desperation. This stylized depiction is characteristic of Adrian-Nilsson’s work, which often combined elements of realism with a touch of Expressionism. The artwork is a captivating visual narrative that captures the excitement and danger of this traditional Spanish spectacle.
