'Bull - plate 11', January 17, 1946, Pablo Picasso, (lithograph), France. "At this penultimate stage, the more complex areas of the line drawing are removed to leave only a few basic lines and shapes that characterise the fundamental forces and correlation of forms in the creature. In the final print of the series, Picasso reduces the bull to a simple outline... that it captures the absolute essence of the creature in as concise an image as possible."
