Bullfighting is the emblem of Spanish traditions that Picasso was very fier of, an event that, especially nowadays, many people are unable to appreciate and explain, but which is part of the population's genetic heritage. The different ways in which he declined it, express all his passion and inner torment; the geometries and structural decomposition that inspire his works are clear examples of the conflits and contradictions that fed Picasso from the start of his career and that probably play a part in the uniqueness and incomparability of his art.
