Lithograph; 150 numbered and signed copies of a poster for the Tàpies exhibition at the Maeght Gallery in Paris; Plate size: 66'5 x 50 cm.; artwork size: 79 x 59 cm.; perfect condition; Publisher: Maeght, Paris. Cataloging number: 147. Listed on page 87 of Tàpies. Graphic work. 1947-1972. Editorial Gustavo Gili. 1973. // Antes De La Carta by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1967, is a lithograph produced in an edition of 150 numbered and signed copies. Originally designed as a poster for Tàpies' exhibition at the Maeght Gallery in Paris, this piece showcases his characteristic minimalist and symbolic style. The composition features a bold black vertical line intersected by a thick diagonal brushstroke, creating a strong contrast against the light background. Above the main forms, a dashed line with an arrow on each end suggests movement or direction, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise restrained design. The simplicity of the shapes and limited color palette focus the viewer’s attention on texture and form, invoking contemplation on balance, presence, and absence. This lithograph exemplifies Tàpies' exploration of abstract forms as carriers of deeper symbolic meaning.

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.
