This is an exhibition poster created for the "Picasso and Bullfighting (Tauromaquia)" exhibition held at the Musée d'art moderne de Céret in Céret, Southern France.

Bullfighting is one of the important themes running through Picasso's artistic world, deeply intertwined with his Spanish spirituality. Scenes of bullfighting, which he became familiar with in his youth, were repeatedly expressed throughout his life in various media such as paintings, prints, and drawings.

This poster, printed by the prestigious Mourlot workshop, transcends a mere exhibition announcement and possesses value as a visual document symbolizing Picasso's thematic world in 20th-century art history.

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