Mixed media on cardboard // Antonio Saura’s El perro de Goya I (1988) is a mixed media work on cardboard that draws direct inspiration from Francisco Goya’s The Dog from his Black Paintings series. In this abstract reinterpretation, Saura employs expressive black lines to form a chaotic web of shapes that evoke a sense of unease and entrapment, reflecting Goya’s original themes of isolation and despair. The upper portion of the composition features a lighter area where these black lines appear, contrasted against the stark, almost impenetrable black lower half. This duality between light and dark intensifies the emotional resonance of the piece, inviting viewers to contemplate the psychological weight embedded within the abstracted forms. Saura’s reimagining of Goya’s iconic dog continues his exploration of existential themes through abstraction and expressive mark-making.

What is Art Informel?

Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
