Listed on page 30 of Tàpies. graphic work.1979-1986. Erker-Verlag, 2002. // Creu Deformada 1 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1979, is a mixed-media work combining aquatint and polychrome carborundum with textured relief. Limited to 95 signed and numbered copies, this piece presents a minimalistic yet powerful composition featuring a dark, cross-like shape on a gray background with rugged edges. The cross appears distorted and abstract, adding a sense of organic movement to the otherwise stark form. A faint red circular mark adjacent to the cross introduces a subtle contrast, hinting at mystery or symbolism. The textured surface enhances the tactile quality of the piece, inviting viewers to explore the depth and materiality of Tàpies' technique. Listed in the artist’s catalog raisonné, Creu Deformada 1 reflects Tàpies' exploration of abstract symbols and his focus on texture as a medium of 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.
