Figuras Negro, 1991

Antonio Saura   Master Artists

This powerful colour screen print is a characteristic example of the late graphic work of Antonio Saura, one of the most influential Spanish artists of the post-war period. The composition is animated by a dense field of abstracted, fragmented forms in intense reds, blues, yellows, and greens set against a deep black background. The work belongs to Saura’s Mutaciones series, in which figures and forms appear to shift and dissolve, hovering between figuration and abstraction.

The screen print is hand-signed in pencil “SAURA” at the lower right and numbered in pencil at the lower left. It is printed on Fabriano Vélin paper bearing the watermark and was published by COOB’92, Barcelona. The work is fully documented in the catalogue raisonné by Cramer, number 560. Sheet size approx. 76 x 56 cm

Antonio Saura (1930–1998) was a founding member of the Spanish avant-garde group El Paso and a key figure in European Art Informel. Closely associated with post-war expressionism, his work explored themes of identity, violence, and existential anxiety through bold, gestural abstraction. Saura’s paintings and prints are held in major international museum collections, including the Museo Reina Sofía, Tate, and Centre Pompidou, and his graphic works are highly regarded for their intensity, innovation, and historical significance.
