Saura: Obra Gráfica — Antonio Saura

A dense and visually commanding monograph, Saura: Obra Gráfica surveys the full span of Antonio Saura’s graphic output with precision and weight. The cover, a collage of torn halftone textures and a surgically isolated eye, already signals the artist’s deep engagement with fragmentation, identity, and distortion. Inside, the book gathers lithographs, etchings, silkscreens and mixed-media prints—each one a stage for Saura’s aggressive mark-making and psychological excavation.

The volume operates as both catalogue raisonné and visual theory. It’s less concerned with chronology than with recurrence—how certain heads, gestures, and forms mutate over decades of relentless drawing. This is Saura untethered from canvas, working in acid, ink, and plate, channeling Goya through the lens of mid-century European trauma. The book makes the case that Saura’s graphic work is not an aside but a core site of invention—intimate, unstable, and politically charged.
