Editor: - Cataloging number: 894. Listed on page 144 of Tàpies; graphic work quoted 1979-1986. Erker-Verlag, 2002. // Aparicions 8 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1982, is a limited edition polychrome etching with relief, produced in an edition of 143 signed and numbered copies. This piece features a stark composition dominated by a bold, black cross in the center, overlaid on a muted brown background. Beneath the cross, a series of layered, scratched white lines create a dynamic and textured effect, adding depth and visual interest. At the top, faint handwriting-like markings in white appear to float, enhancing the work’s abstract, meditative quality. The dark cross contrasts sharply with the surrounding elements, inviting interpretations related to spirituality, presence, or the concept of marking space. Tàpies’ use of texture and symbols within a restrained color palette underscores his focus on materiality and abstract forms, making Aparicions 8 an evocative exploration of symbolic and gestural expression.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
