Julio Pomar Original Signed Serigraph AP/30 Ulysses Sirens Portuguese Guitar

This post is also available in:

Original silkscreen print signed by Julio Pomar (1926-2018), “Ulysses e as Sereias com Guitarra Portuguesa” (Ulysses and the Sirens with Portuguese Guitar), extremely rare artist’s proof EA/30, large format 35.63 x 25.39 inches (90.5 × 64.5 cm), in perfect condition.

A major figure in 20th-century Portuguese art, Julio Pomar stands out as one of the greatest masters of modernism and surrealism, alongside Paula Rego and Vieira da Silva. This powerful composition from the 1970s-1980s, a period considered his graphic peak, reinterprets the myth of Ulysses with a surreal sensuality and a unique expressionist force. The two sirens, with their hybrid bodies and hypnotic faces, contrast with Ulysses tied to the mast, embodying the eternal struggle between desire and reason. The flat areas of blood red, the deep blacks, and the artist’s characteristic nervous brushstrokes give the work an exceptional magnetic presence.

Limited to just 175 copies, plus 30 rare artist’s proofs, this museum-quality work is still available at an accessible price. Signed and numbered in pencil, with vibrant colors, and no creases or foxing: a rare opportunity for lovers of modern Portuguese art!
