Picasso does not take up lithography again until the end of
November 1957. And here we see again his game with Galerie Louise. On
Saturday, November 23, he makes a beautiful bullfighting lithograph for
XXe Siècle magazine, an art magazine founded in 1934 and directed until his
death in 1974 by publisher Gualtieri di San Lazzaro. This historical number
X of the second period of the magazine, entitled L'écriture plastique,
includes lithographs by Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet, Serge Poliakoff and
Zao Wou-ki, an engraving by Raoul Ubac, a zincography by Henri Michaux,
and pochoirs by Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Giuseppe Capogrossi and Victor
Vasarely. The contribution of Picasso is a small lithograph of 20 by 29 cm
with one of the themes that has been reproduced most in posters, the
bullring. It is La petite Corrida (R. 713, M. 302) printed on vellum paper of
30.3 by 23.9 cm. It is made in four colors (yellow, blue, red and black) with
lithographic pencil on paper transferred to stone
