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 Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
