Etching with aquatint and carborundum on handmade paper // Antoni Tàpies’ 70 is a limited edition print from 1973, created using a combination of etching, aquatint, and carborundum on handmade paper. This mixed-media piece embodies Tàpies’ signature exploration of texture, materiality, and abstraction. The work centers on a rugged, square form with a black, roughened texture and the number “70” prominently displayed. White markings cut across the surface, suggesting movement or a symbolic boundary. Tàpies' use of unconventional materials, such as carborundum, imbues the piece with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, inviting viewers to consider the physical and symbolic weight of the depicted forms.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
