Lithograph, signed by hand, numbered // Antoni Tàpies’ Cannage, a lithograph from 1984, presents a hauntingly abstract composition that merges texture with ephemeral forms. The piece is dominated by a soft, smoky haze that envelops the surface, with minimalistic, almost calligraphic lines sketched across it. On the left, a faint grid pattern emerges, resembling woven cane or mesh, evoking the title “Cannage.” This pattern contrasts sharply with the organic shapes on the right, creating a sense of duality between structure and fluidity. The restrained color palette emphasizes Tàpies' interest in texture and materiality, reflecting his exploration of the physical and the transient. Hand-signed and numbered, this print encapsulates Tàpies' fascination with the tactile and the ambiguous.

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.
