Antonio Saura was not only a distinguished artist but also a fine writer. He devoted a number of pieces to Pablo Picasso, offering fresh insights into his older countryman and fellow exile.
This collection brings together all of the Picasso texts, including the biting satirical tract ‘Contra Guernica’, which caused a scandal and remains notorious in the literature on the artist and this masterpiece. Saura’s remarkable ‘Imaginary Letter to Pablo Picasso’ takes up the story.
Together the texts in this volume form an original and critically discerning analysis of Picasso’s vast body of work by one of the artists who understood him best. Saura expertly overcame the difficulty of painting during Picasso’s final decades and afterwards in the wake of the Spanish master’s legacy.

Antonio Saura / Les affiches | Los carteles / Catalogue raisonné

Catalogue raisonné edited by Olivier Weber-Caflisch and Jean-Charles Giroud.
The catalogue raisonné was designed and produced by the publishing department of the antonio saura foundation archives. The catalogue raisonné of posters, strictly speaking, features the description and reproduction of the 91 original posters, that is, the posters that were entirely designed and produced by the artist, as well as a description and reproduction of the 130 posters devoted to him but which the artist had no hand in. The catalogue also includes a selection of 52 posters that are most representative of the artist, a chronological index, an alphabetical index, and finally an essay by Olivier Weber-Caflisch on the creative process behind designing and printing a poster which also touches on many items in the Antonio Saura archives, notes, sketches, assemblages, and other projects that were involved in the various steps in producing a poster, from design to printing it off.
