"La Pica" is an outstanding lithograph by Pablo Picasso created in 1959. It is part of the series "A los toros avec Picasso", made in collaboration with the poet Luis Ortega. In this work, Picasso captures the intensity of a bullfight through precise lines and geometric shapes. A picador with his spear raised becomes the central focus of the composition. The use of simple lines and economy of details demonstrate Picasso's mastery of simplification and expression. "La Pica" reflects Picasso's deep connection with Spanish culture and his ability to transmit the emotion of bullfighting through graphic work, uniting art and tradition in an iconic piece.
