Description
Spanish school; 20th century. "Baile". Ink on paper. Signed Saura in the upper left corner. Measurements: 40 x 32 cm; 57 x 49 cm (frame). Ink on paper in which a satirical scene is presented with a clearly humorous intention. The piece that chromatically is limited to white, black and a scale of grays manages to transmit a vital and dynamic atmosphere. Compositionally, the artist raises the viewer's point of view, so that he seems to observe the characters in the scene from an elevated position in the crowd. In the center a woman opens her coat revealing her half-naked body, while the man next to her covers his eyes and in shock is about to fall. This scene is contemplated by a multitude of characters with individualized and archetypal features.
