Mixed media on paper // Antonio Saura's Personaje (1998) is a mixed media work on paper that exemplifies his abstract and gestural approach to figuration. The central figure, represented in Saura’s signature style, appears to be sketched with expressive, black, and jagged lines, forming a distorted, almost mask-like face. Broad, sweeping brushstrokes in shades of black and gray encase the figure, creating a bold contrast against the lighter background. The chaotic arrangement of lines and shapes within the face suggests a deep emotional complexity, inviting the viewer to interpret the psychological tension inherent in the figure. This piece reflects Saura’s ongoing exploration of human identity, emotion, and the subconscious, all communicated through his raw, intense visual language.

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.
