{"product_id":"bulls-head-pablo-picasso","title":"Bull's Head - Pablo Picasso","description":"\u003cp\u003eA minimalist assemblage by Pablo Picasso, created in 1942 from a bicycle seat and handlebars to form the shape of a bull's head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBull's Head is a work of assemblage created by Pablo Picasso in 1942. The piece consists of a leather bicycle seat and a pair of steel handlebars found by the artist in a pile of scrap metal. By joining these two discarded objects, Picasso created a form that mimics the silhouette of a bull's head. The seat serves as the cranium, while the curved handlebars suggest the horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is an example of the artist's interest in the transformation of everyday objects through minimal intervention. Picasso often collected discarded items, seeing potential for new meaning in their physical properties. The simplicity of the construction allows the viewer to recognise the original components while simultaneously perceiving the animal form. The shadow cast by the object on the wall further reinforces the illusion, adding a secondary layer to the visual experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicasso's approach here relies on the viewer's capacity for visual association. The work does not attempt to replicate the texture or detail of a bull, but rather captures its essential geometry. By recontextualising industrial waste, the artist invites a reconsideration of the relationship between art and common materials. The piece remains a clear example of how a shift in perspective can alter the identity of an object. It is a study in economy of means, where the artist achieves a recognisable result with only two components. The work is held in the collection of the Musée Picasso in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/glass-and-checkerboard-juan-gris\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGlass and Checkerboard - Juan Gris — Juan Gris\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/cubist-figure-salvador-dali\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCubist Figure - Salvador Dalí — Salvador Dalí\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pablo Picasso","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829186629967,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829191872847,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829191905615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829191938383,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829191971151,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bull-s-Head_Poster_CompositorV1_1789894579039.jpg?v=1789896694","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/bulls-head-pablo-picasso","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
