Toros: The Primal Power of Picasso and Neruda
This rare pochoir is a powerful plate from the 1960 portfolio Toros, a historic collaboration between two 20th-century giants: Pablo Picasso and the Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda. Executed by the master chromist Daniel Jacomet, the work utilizes an intricate hand-stenciling process that captures the raw, ink-wash texture and visceral energy after Picasso’s original bullfighting and Spanish flamenco dancing sketches.
Picasso’s minimalist yet aggressive lines perfectly mirror the evocative, earthy weight of Neruda’s accompanying poetry. Printed in a limited edition on Velin d Arches paper,, this pochoir is highly sought after for its technical fidelity; the layers of pigment provide a depth and saturation that give the work the appearance of an original wash drawing. For collectors, it represents a profound cultural intersection of art and literature, immortalizing the "tragic beauty" of the Spanish tradition.
