Cataloged on page 166, number 139, Antonio Saura, L'Oeuvre Imprimé, Catalog Raisoneé. Patrick Cramer. Geneva. 2000. Felipe II by Antonio Saura is a 1971 serigraph that reinterprets the historical figure of the Spanish king through the artist’s intensely expressive visual language. The composition presents a distorted bust wearing a tall hat and dark cloak, evoking traditional royal portraiture while radically transforming it through gestural black lines and layered tones of grey, brown, and white. The face is fractured into angular forms with exaggerated eyes and tense features, creating a sense of psychological depth and unease. Saura frequently revisited figures from Spanish history and art, translating them into raw, almost mask-like images that emphasize emotion rather than likeness. Catalogued in Antonio Saura, L'Oeuvre Imprimé, Catalogue Raisonné by Patrick Cramer (Geneva, 2000), the work was printed in an edition of 60 with additional proofs.

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.
