Catalogue raisonné WCC.538. Lithograph and zincograph. Serie abierta by Antonio Saura is a 1989 lithograph and zincograph that demonstrates the artist’s experimental approach to serial imagery and fragmented portraiture. The composition is structured as a dense grid of black rectangular blocks punctuated by small openings that reveal partial fragments of faces beneath. Within each window, Saura’s energetic black lines and muted tones form distorted eyes, mouths, and abstract facial elements. The grid structure contrasts with the spontaneous expressionist marks, creating a tension between order and chaos. Rather than presenting complete figures, the work offers glimpses of fragmented identities, suggesting the multiplicity and anonymity of human presence. Measuring 74.8 × 104 cm, this print was produced in an edition of 99 and reflects Saura’s continued exploration of repetition, fragmentation, and psychological intensity in graphic form.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
