Picasso's monumental work is traversed from his first childhood drawings to his last engravings by two essential figures: the woman and the bull. However, Picasso's productions linked to them began to suffer unfairly from his reputation as a violent lover and convinced aficionado. These condemnations show a reductive bias, and Picasso's complex personality and work deserve a more thorough examination than caricature. Although the two motifs - woman and bull - are often associated in Picasso's work, the study of the double subject has never yet been conducted. However, it allows us to deconstruct the preconceived ideas about them. In reality, their representation has changed according to the course of history, the life of the artist, his aesthetics, his ideology. In order to shed light on the works and take their measure, their biographical and historical contextualization is therefore necessary.
