Description:
|
Created with pen and wash with scratching in the stone, third state, artist's proof pulled by Mourlot. Part of a series on bulls which vividly demonstrates the kind of experimentation with lithography that Picasso undertook at the Fernand Mourlot print workshop in Paris after World War II. Twenty years later, Picasso had produced over 400 lithographs for Mourlot as a way of exploring his creative process, making a print in 15 to 20 different states and watching its evolution before creating a finished product.
