// Antonio Saura's Serie Abierta (1989) is a limited edition lithograph that showcases his distinctive use of abstract figuration and repetitive patterns. This particular piece is filled with densely packed faces and forms, all outlined in bold black lines against a muted beige background. The expressive and exaggerated features of the figures—marked by wide eyes and distorted shapes—convey a sense of tension and emotional intensity. Each face seems trapped within its own frame, creating a claustrophobic yet dynamic rhythm across the composition. Saura’s work often deals with themes of identity, the human condition, and existential angst, all of which are conveyed through this crowded, chaotic arrangement of faces. The monochromatic palette enhances the starkness of the forms, allowing the viewer to focus on the raw emotional impact of the composition.

What is Surrealism?
Artwork by Rene Magritte

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.
