// Antoni Clavé's Étoiles et signes, an etching and aquatint from 1968, is a visually arresting work that combines intricate textures and layered symbols. Measuring 76 by 56 cm, the piece features a dark, atmospheric palette of deep blues, blacks, and purples, punctuated by a single bright red dot. The composition is dense with circular motifs, intersecting lines, and abstract forms, evoking a night sky filled with celestial symbols and signs, as suggested by the title Étoiles et signes (Stars and Signs). The presence of layered, repetitive shapes lends a sense of mystery and otherworldliness, inviting viewers to decipher the coded language within the artwork. With an edition size of 75, plus additional PA and HC copies, this piece captures Clavé’s fascination with texture, abstraction, and symbolism, creating an enigmatic visual experience.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
