Antonio Saura (1930-1998)

He was a co-founder of the artist group El Paso, which was founded in 1957 in Madrid and whose director he was until 1960. Successful years were to follow with first exhibitions in international galleries. The artist became increasingly active in prints and even interrupted painting on canvas. Saura is known as an adversary of the Franco regime. In 1977, he began publishing some of his own writings. In addition, he created decors for theatre, opera and ballet.
