Aphorismen V by Antonio Saura is a 1973 serigraph that demonstrates the artist’s vivid and expressive reinterpretation of the human face. The composition presents a stylized head emerging from a dark background, rendered with energetic black lines and bold areas of color including yellow, red, blue, and green. The distorted features, exaggerated eyes, and wide, uneasy grin give the figure a theatrical and almost mask-like presence. Saura often explored the human figure as a vehicle for psychological tension and symbolic meaning, combining gestural drawing with striking color contrasts. Part of the Aphorismen series, the work reflects his interest in spontaneous mark-making and emotional intensity. Printed in an edition of 115 with additional artist and hors commerce impressions, the serigraph highlights Saura’s dynamic graphic language.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
