The Bull 1945

"The Bull" is a 1945 lithograph by Pablo Picasso, a renowned Spanish artist. This work is an example of Picasso's exploration of Cubist principles. The bull is depicted in a fragmented and geometric style, deconstructed into overlapping planes and lines. The use of black, white, and yellow creates a strong visual contrast and emphasizes the animal's powerful presence. This work reflects Picasso's fascination with the bull as a symbol of strength and primal energy, and its simplified forms showcase his masterful command of line and shape.
