Remembrandt by Antonio Saura is a 1973 serigraph that reflects the artist’s reinterpretation of historical portraiture through his distinctive expressionist language. The work presents a distorted bust-like figure reminiscent of the Dutch master Rembrandt, rendered with energetic black lines and layered tones of brown, white, and grey. The face is fragmented into angular shapes and exaggerated features, creating a tense and uneasy presence. Saura frequently revisited iconic figures from art history, transforming them into raw, mask-like forms that emphasize psychological intensity rather than realism. The dark clothing and simplified background focus attention on the expressive face and gestural marks. Printed in an edition of 60 with additional proofs, the serigraph demonstrates Saura’s powerful graphic style and his dialogue with historical artistic traditions.

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.
