The origins of the bullfight can be traced back to prehistoric times, as well as to the civilizations of Babylonia, the Aegean and Phoenecia. The painter compares his solitude, in front of his canvas, to that of the toreador, alone in the bullring. The writer portrays the bullfight as the only art form in which the creative artist constantly puts his life at risk. Today, the passion of its followers still confronts the detractor's horror at the "barbaric" spectacle. Hated or loved, the corrida with all its ritual and symbolism, has been an inspiration to many artists. |

| In "CORRIDA", we have collected
the 33 etchings Fransisco de Goya's "Tauromachy",
the 26 etchings Pablo Picasso's "Tauromachy"
and August Puig's
oils for "69 Images" on the poem "Lament for Ignacio Sanchez
Mejias" by Federico
Garcia Lorca.
The etchings of Goya and Picasso present a spectacle of light and shade; Puig's oils are a spectacle of colour. The whole is a spectacle that begins with the classic and tragic perception of Goya, moves to Picasso's lighter but still figurative vision and concludes with Puig's seeming abstractions, based on the Lorca poem, whose music has provided a rhythm for all that is illustrated in this book. 272 pages size 24,5 x 34,5 cm, bound, 59 illustrations in black and white 69 illustrations in color .
