The original linoblock of "Picador, Femme et cheval" in the garden of linoprinter Arnéra. The original linocut block of Pablo Picasso relished the difficulty involved in gouging the resilient linoleum and tried to get flowing, harmonious lines. Vallauris 1960.
The original linoblock for Pablo Picasso's "Picador, Femme et cheval" stands on a gravelly patch in the Vallauris garden of linoprinter Arnéra, 1960. The minimalist, linear figures—a picador, a horse, and a nude woman—were gouged by Picasso from the resilient linoleum. In this high-contrast photograph, the dark panel is set against a sunlit, crumbling stone wall and dense foliage.
