This dynamic color lithograph titled Abstract Composition III is based on an original ink and crayon drawing by Pablo Picasso, dated 1.8.57, as inscribed in the lower right. The composition is part of the California series, published in 1962 by Cercle d’Art in Paris, celebrating Picasso’s enduring fascination with the energy and ritual of the Spanish bullfight.The image is a whirlwind of abstract movement—swirling lines, dashes of bright red, blue, yellow, and green—evoking the vibrancy of the arena. Figures of matadors and bulls dissolve into rhythmic gestures, showing Picasso’s unique ability to reduce complex forms into pure visual rhythm. Though marked as “after Picasso, ” the work captures his unmistakable style and bold approach to composition and color.After Pablo Picasso refers to artworks created in the style of or inspired by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
