Catalogue raisonné WCC.600. El caballero by Antonio Saura is a 1996 lithograph and zincograph that continues the artist’s expressive reinterpretation of historical and symbolic figures. The composition presents a stylized bust of a knight wearing a cylindrical hat and structured collar, set against a dark background. Saura constructs the face with energetic black lines that fragment the features into swirling forms and exaggerated eyes, creating a mask-like expression that feels both intense and unstable. The combination of simplified color areas and gestural drawing emphasizes psychological tension rather than realistic portraiture. Throughout his career, Saura frequently transformed historical archetypes into raw, expressive images that reflect broader themes of identity and human anxiety. This work, measuring 60 × 45 cm, was produced in a small edition of 30 and is recorded in the catalogue raisonné under reference WCC.600.

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.
