Emblemas 3 by Antonio Saura is a 1979 serigraph that continues the artist’s exploration of the human face as a powerful symbolic motif. The composition presents a distorted, mask-like head framed within a rectangular field, rendered through bold black gestures and layered tones of grey and white. Multiple eyes and fragmented facial features overlap and merge, creating an unsettling expression that conveys tension and psychological intensity. Saura’s energetic, calligraphic lines evoke the immediacy of drawing while maintaining a strong graphic structure characteristic of his printmaking. Associated with the Spanish postwar avant-garde and the El Paso group, Saura frequently used distorted faces as emblems of existential struggle and human vulnerability. Printed in an edition of 75 with additional proofs, the work demonstrates his raw, expressive visual language.

What is Art Nucleare?
Arte Nucleare was the name of an artist group founded in Milan in 1951. The group aimed to create art that responded to the dangers and technologies of the nuclear age. Their works often utilized automatic techniques and depicted devastated landscapes and mushroom clouds, reflecting the anxieties of a world on the brink of nuclear catastrophe.
