// 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 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.
