// 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 Gestural?
Artwork by Joan Mitchell

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.
