Placard — Saura x Ullán, 1976

This 1976 lithograph by Antonio Saura, created in collaboration with poet José-Miguel Ullán and published by Galerie Maeght in Paris, is a luminous artifact of the Spanish post-Franco cultural diaspora—where visual and literary language locked into shared rebellion. Titled Placard , the work assembles nine vignettes of Saura’s automatic drawing—faces, bodies, fragments, and screaming line—alongside a printed poem by Ullán, all floating against pale fields of ochre and sage.
