Toros en Vallauris

This piece, Toros en Vallauris is masterfully created by Pablo Picasso. It is interesting because I always thought of Pablo Picasso as a painter but for many years he created posters using colorful linocut to advertise bullfights, craft exhibitions, and other local art. I think this poster is very interesting because we as the viewers are looking at the bull fight but Picasso separates the man and the bull in half not only by placement but also by color. The faces are also to me a little strange because there are no bodies. I also think this is very fascinating because Pablo Picasso hand signed his name in the bottom right hand corner.
