About the Item

Cruzeiro Seixas (1920–2020) Untitled- Ink on Paper Signed by the artist Portugal, ca. mid-to-late 20th century Dimensions: 24 x 23.7 cm (9.4 x 9.3 in) Framed: Custom frame with museum-quality mat and anti-reflective glass This exquisite black ink drawing by Artur Manuel Rodrigues do Cruzeiro Seixas, one of the leading figures of Portuguese surrealism, presents a striking composition brimming with the artist’s signature dreamlike imagery. Executed in China ink on paper, the work showcases an abstract surrealist tableau that merges biomorphic forms with erotic undertones and architectural voids. The refined linework and spatial ambiguity highlight Seixas' ability to oscillate between figuration and the subconscious. Seixas’ mastery of ink as a medium is evident in his control of tonal contrast and fluidity. The sinuous figures—part organic, part fantastical—echo the influence of Bretonian surrealism while asserting a unique Portuguese expression of inner psyche and metaphysical inquiry. Bold yet precise, the ink lines carve forms out of emptiness, evoking movement, sensuality, and disquiet in equal measure. This piece is signed by Cruzeiro Seixas in the lower left corner and is presented in a silver-leaf finish frame with archival mounting. The elegant display enhances the surreal and mysterious nature of the composition, making it a compelling addition to any collection of surrealist or 20th-century European art.
