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 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.
