{"product_id":"antonio-saura-placard-1976","title":"Placard — Saura x Ullán, 1976","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"67\" data-end=\"582\"\u003eThis 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 \u003cem data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"386\"\u003ePlacard\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"1085\"\u003eSaura’s graphic idiom here is at its most liberated: linear, gestural, manic, yet controlled by a precise architecture of placement. The figures dissolve into signs; the signs twitch with agitation. Framed like an archival cabinet or a protest placard, the print turns into a grid of visual outcries—each panel a variation on pain, perception, or memory. Ullán’s text sits calmly in the centre, offering a literary counter-rhythm to the violence of the images, forming not an explanation, but an echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003eBoth Saura and Ullán were central to the intellectual resistance against Francoism, and \u003cem data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1184\"\u003ePlacard\u003c\/em\u003e reads as an act of defiance in print—a bilingual protest between eye and voice. Printed on fine vélin d’Arches and signed by both artist and poet in pencil, this edition of 500 links two of Spain’s most singular postwar radicals in one dense and dynamic page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1995\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1465\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003eTitle: Placard\u003cbr data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Antonio Saura (drawing), José-Miguel Ullán (text)\u003cbr data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1554\"\u003eDate: 1976\u003cbr data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Lithograph and zincograph\u003cbr data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Ink on vélin d’Arches paper\u003cbr data-start=\"1671\" data-end=\"1674\"\u003eEdition: 56\/500\u003cbr data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003eSigned: Yes, signed in pencil by artist and poet\u003cbr data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1743\"\u003eFraming: Wood frame with black mount\u003cbr data-start=\"1779\" data-end=\"1782\"\u003eDimensions (cm): 80 × 60 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"1812\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Galerie Maeght, Paris\u003cbr data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"1856\"\u003eBibliography: Weber-Caflisch, \u003cem data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"1928\"\u003eSaura.
