This poster was created for the "Picasso and the Bullfight (Tauromachy)" exhibition held at the Musée d'art moderne de Céret in Céret, Southern France.

Bullfighting was one of the central themes throughout Picasso's artistic world, deeply connected to his Spanish spirit. The scenes of bullfighting, which he became familiar with in his youth, were repeatedly depicted throughout his life in various mediums such as paintings, prints, and drawings.

This poster, printed by the prestigious Mourlot workshop, goes beyond mere exhibition announcement; it holds value as a visual document symbolizing Picasso's thematic world in 20th-century art history.

Its powerful composition in a large format brings a strong presence to any space, making it a highly attractive piece for both collectors and interior decoration.
