Picasso&Elenarede: BodiesMatter
Extended through January 2025

In this highly remarkable work, Picasso reveals as a master of resolving contrasting emotions; the picador losing his identity as the pica breaks and the bull losing his life as the fight approaches end. The contrast with the calm and distant expression of the horse, underlines the drama.
