The Attack (Embestial)
Raúl Anguiano Mexican
Not on view
This image has violence at its core: a bull charges a horse and its rider, throwing them both into the air. The composition and subject recall Pablo Picasso’s antiwar painting Guernica, created in 1937 in response to the aerial bombing of the town of the same name, in northern Spain, by German and Italian fascists. Made the year after the outbreak of the Second World War, Anguiano’s print likely symbolically refers to the destruction wrought by this conflict.
