Don I by Antonio Saura is a 1984 serigraph that reflects the artist’s intense exploration of distorted human forms and psychological expression. Rendered in stark black, white, and grey, the composition presents a fragmented head containing multiple overlapping eyes. Thick, gestural brush-like lines define the features, creating a sense of tension and instability within the face. The simplified palette heightens the dramatic contrast between figure and background, emphasizing the raw energy of the linework. Saura, associated with the Spanish postwar avant-garde and the El Paso group, often used distorted anatomy to evoke existential anxiety and the trauma of modern history. Produced in an edition of 100 with 20 hors commerce impressions, the print demonstrates Saura’s powerful graphic language and his continued reinterpretation of the human figure.

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.
