Clau-13 (1973) by Antoni Tàpies is a striking lithograph that distills gesture into symbolic intensity. A bold crimson form—part brushstroke, part calligraphic flourish—dominates the upper section of the composition. The mark suggests both key-like symbolism and a visceral trace of action, characteristic of Tàpies’ language of material abstraction. Beneath and around this central gesture, fragmented text or symbols echo a cryptic script, heightening the work’s enigmatic energy. Created in a limited edition of 25, this lithograph exemplifies Tàpies’ ability to merge writing, matter, and emotion into a powerful, minimalist visual statement.

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.
