ANTONIO SEGUI On Ne Matraque Pas L'Imagination, 1968

This original lithograph by Argentine artist Antonio Seguí was produced in 1968 amidst the fervent cultural and political climate of the time. Printed on billboard paper with a home press, Seguí’s work utilizes bold, saturated red and black inks to convey both artistic immediacy and revolutionary spirit. Enhanced with gouache, the work blends graphic design and fine art, underscoring its dynamic and tactile quality.

Its rarity, historical significance, and artistic merit make it an important collectible for art enthusiasts and historians alike.
