Lithography; 75 copies; Perfect condition // Melanchton I by Antonio Saura, created in 1988, is a limited edition lithograph produced in an edition of 75 copies. This striking piece features a distorted, expressive face with exaggerated eyes, teeth, and a hollowed gaze, evoking a sense of emotional turmoil or psychological depth. The figure, rendered in bold black lines with touches of white and gray, is framed against a dark, curved background, emphasizing its central presence. The top hat on the figure adds a surreal and somewhat comical touch, contrasting with the intense, almost grotesque facial features. Saura’s style here captures both humor and tension, blending elements of caricature and abstraction to convey a character that is as unsettling as it is intriguing.

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.
