// Antoni Tàpies' Clau-19, an etching from 1973, is part of a limited edition of 25 (XXV). This artwork displays Tàpies' characteristic approach to abstract expression, with a textured lower area that seems to anchor the piece, while above, scattered ink splatters create a sense of randomness and spontaneity. The contrast between the densely textured bottom and the open, splattered upper section evokes themes of duality—perhaps solidity versus fluidity or order versus chaos. Tàpies uses minimal forms and textures to encourage introspection, making the viewer ponder the interaction between elements within the composition.

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.
