SYNOPSIS:
Silva Nuno 2005
“I have one hazy memory of a bull with a few lines drawn by Pablo Picasso.
I was a kid, maybe 13 years old.
My memory may have distorted the image to the point of not recognizing it anymore.
But the minimalist, simple and grandiose line that forms the bull's profile lodged in my memory.
I tried to portray this Touro with the 20 tripods in rough wood that I used to support old exhibitions.
Without daring to tamper with the tripods, arranging and fitting them together, I molded the volume of the bull…
A tripod was left to testify that the 20 tripods used on the bull were its twin brothers.”
