The concepts behind Pablo Piccaso’s Bull Series
Analysis by: Lathan Toland
“There are lines that lack border. There is a disconnection of
individuality that presents a general concept and structure.”
“What the artist perceives as a bull is incorporated
in the image. You can see he is trying to translate
the attitude/general idea of a bull.”
“Translates shapes that build the elements of a
bull. It makes you look at each aspect of the bull to
explain the structure of the bull.”
“The bull has a sarcastic look to it and it makes me
feel more connected. The shading captures how
environments can justify the presence.”
“This bull looks like it has its own thinking
complex, rather than capturing a portrait. The
lines create areas that the eye is drawn to.”
“The bull no longer exists as a physical element. It
makes me perceive it as a creature of personality
looking beyond the image I see."
“It highlights how each part explains its animal
existence and how less complex it is to human life.
Animals have absence of thinking.”
This bull in particular exposes more on how to consider seeing art as a way to imply meanings about what the creature is. To me, this bull appears symbolic through the absence of shading and detail to signify elements that show how the bull acts, its goals. Areas on the bull seem to have more thought put into them when having created the piece. Perhaps to give those parts on the animal a function and thusly its own purpose. In comparison to humans, I would see in an animal only the parts that justify what it means to me as a person.
“All that is seen in previous slides/paintings have
been combined to explain the animal. It creates
shape and individuality.”
“It looks to be a picture that a viewer invents
him/herself; it is a bull but the viewer asks
themselves what makes it so.”
“I am reminded of the principles of human
evolution through art. The bull has no complex,
but is invented by the illusion of the viewer.”
“I see 11 lines that seem to have complementary
meaning towards the significance of the other bulls
to it. We see a bull only by comparison.”
