Mixed media on cardboard // Antonio Saura's El perro de Goya II (1988) is a mixed media work on cardboard, drawing inspiration from Francisco Goya's famous painting The Dog from his Black Paintings series. Saura reinterprets the original with his own gestural and abstract style, rendering the figure of the dog in a fragmented, almost chaotic form. The composition features dynamic, expressive black lines outlining the figure, with bold, flattened shapes in earthy tones set against a stark black lower half and a muted gray background. Saura's rough, spontaneous marks reflect his interest in conveying raw emotion and psychological depth, evoking a sense of isolation and despair, themes central to both Goya’s and Saura’s works.

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.
