Alfonso Ortuño (1942) “Set of Caricatures”

Watercolour and graphite on paper. A set of four caricatures. Ortuño caricatures his subjects by considerably reducing the size of their bodies and limbs to make their heads appear larger. In this way, he manages to maximise the facial expressions and the most distinctive anatomical features of each subject, such as the ears, teeth, expression lines or facial hair. Signed ‘Ortuño’ in the lower right-hand corner. Unidentified figures.
