ABOUT THE ARTIST
Antonio Saura (1930–1998)
was a major Spanish painter and writer associated with postwar European Expressionism. Born in Huesca, Spain, Saura began painting while recovering from a long illness in his youth. Initially influenced by Surrealism, he later developed a powerful, highly personal visual language marked by distorted figures, dramatic brushwork, and a stark black-and-white palette.
In 1957, he co-founded the influential Spanish avant-garde group El Paso, which sought to renew Spanish art during the Franco regime by promoting expressive freedom and international dialogue. Saura became one of the group’s leading voices, advocating for a raw, emotionally charged form of abstraction and figuration.
Throughout his career, Saura created recurring series inspired by historical and cultural figures, including interpretations of Velázquez’s portraits, Goya’s imagery, and literary characters such as Don Quixote. His work is characterized by intense psychological depth, fragmented forms, and a rejection of decorative aesthetics.
