Catalogue raisonné WCC.441. Don by Antonio Saura is a 1988 lithograph that reflects the artist’s distinctive approach to portraiture through distortion and expressive line. The composition presents a stylized bust wearing a beret, set against a warm ochre background that contrasts with the dark clothing of the figure. Saura constructs the face through energetic black strokes and layered tones of beige and brown, breaking the features into angular fragments and exaggerated eyes. The result is a mask-like image that conveys tension and psychological intensity rather than realistic likeness. Throughout his career, Saura frequently revisited archetypal figures and portraits, transforming them into raw, expressive forms that explore identity and human emotion. This lithograph, measuring 65 × 50 cm, was produced in an edition of 100 and is recorded in the catalogue raisonné under reference WCC.441.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
