The horse and the bull

Uploaded: August 23, 2018 | Entered: August 23, 2018 14:20:42

Description

In Picasso's "Fantasmagoria" the horse symbolizes Spanish Nationalism and the bull symbolizes "The People" the more so because this animal is almost the totem of the Peninsula, and Spaniards attend its sacrifice with passionate enthusiasm. In his previous works the Horse stood for the woman and the Bull for the artist himself
