Madrid Exhibition Traces Bullfighting Poster Design from Picasso to Barceló

The 'El cartel de toros de vanguardia: de Picasso a Barceló' exhibition at the Museo Picasso-Colección Eugenio Arias in Buitrago del Lozoya showcases nearly 60 bullfighting posters until December 8. Curated by Àngela Suau Gomila and Fernando González Viñas, the display traces the history of posters from 1737, when the earliest known advertising poster for a Madrid bullfight was created, to modern interpretations. A pivotal moment in this evolution is marked by Pablo Picasso's works from 1954 to 1961, which highlight fundamental aspects of the art form. The exhibition also features contemporary artists such as Eduardo Arroyo, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Josep Guinovart, Navarro Baldeweg, and Danh Vo, as well as Miquel Barceló's innovative style, alongside Fernando Botero, Eduardo Úrculo, Carmen Calvo, and Norman Foster.
