Bull (plate V) 1945

"Bull (plate V)" is a 1945 linocut by Pablo Picasso, a renowned Spanish artist. The print depicts a bull in a simplified, abstract style, emphasizing its form through geometric shapes and lines. Picasso created a series of twelve linocuts, all depicting bulls, between 1945 and 1946. These works showcase Picasso's exploration of cubism, focusing on the deconstruction of form and the representation of objects from multiple perspectives. The series is considered a pivotal moment in Picasso's artistic evolution, demonstrating his mastery of printmaking. "Bull (plate V)" is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
