Pablo Picasso Toros en Vallauris, 1959 announces the 1959 Vallauris Exhibition and focuses on multiple aspects of the fair: the people, bullfights, and ambiance. The elements are simple - whimsical, blocked white font against a rich, brown background. Simply conceived, boldly executed, this poster is a wonderful example of Picasso's eloquent handling of linocut, a medium that other artists often find difficult and clumsy, but one in which Picasso excelled.

Created in 1959, this linocut or linoleum cut is hand signed by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin. Printed by Arnéra, Vallauris and published by Association des Potiers de Vallauris, this work is numbered from the edition of 190 and printed on cream wove paper.
