// Antoni Tàpies' Damunt diari, a limited edition etching from 1975, is a powerful example of his unique blend of abstraction and material experimentation. The work features a printed newspaper backdrop, over which expressive red and black gestural strokes dominate the composition. The juxtaposition of the orderly, text-filled newspaper with the dynamic, raw brushstrokes creates a stark contrast between control and chaos, order and spontaneity. This piece reflects Tàpies' fascination with everyday materials, such as newsprint, and his ongoing exploration of themes like communication, history, and the intersection of art and life. The bold use of color and texture emphasizes the physicality of the medium, inviting viewers to contemplate both the material and conceptual layers within the artwork.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
