The original linoblock for Pablo Picasso’s "Picador, Femme et cheval," dated "25.9.59.", rests in the Vallauris garden of his printer, Arnéra, in 1960. Against a sunlit stone wall, the vertical panel displays the minimalist white line drawing of a picador, a horse, and a nude woman. Picasso relished the challenge of gouging the resilient linoleum, a process through which he sought to create the composition’s flowing, harmonious lines.
