Picasso: Minotaurs and Matadors Magazine created in response to Rembrandt’sThis book was published on the occasion of Picasso: Minotaurs and Matadors, an exhibition curated by John Richardson at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London. The exhibition examines the intersection of Picassos bullfighting imagery with his mythological and biographical compositions of the 1930s. Including works dating from 1889 to 1971, this career long survey traces Picassos engagement with the ancient rituals and narratives of his native Mediterranean.
