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 in a narrow, sunlit alley at the home of linoprinter Arnéra. The artwork's white lines—depicting a picador, a horse, and a nude woman—are set against rough stone walls flanking the path. A strong contrast exists between the wall cast in deep shadow on the left and the brightly lit one on the right, where weeds grow at its base. Vallauris, 1960.
