Antonio Saura, a pivotal Spanish Post-War artist, is renowned for his avant-garde style characterized by abstracted biomorphic forms and a palette often limited to black and white, reflecting intense emotion and varied motifs. He co-founded the avant-garde group El Paso in Madrid, drawing inspiration from American Abstract Expressionism and French Art Informel, and his work has been exhibited internationally, including at the 1958 Venice Biennale.
