Etching and carborundum; 99 copies; Artwork size: 56 X 76 cm.; Perfect condition // El Dit by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1987, is a compelling mixed-media work that combines etching and carborundum. This piece, produced in an edition of 99, embodies Tàpies' fascination with texture, symbolism, and earthy tones. Dominated by a muted palette of browns and blacks, the artwork features bold, chalky white lines forming symbols and abstract shapes. A prominent arrow-like figure and cross symbol lead the eye across the canvas, while various marks and textured areas contribute a layered, almost geological quality. The rugged texture and cryptic markings evoke themes of mysticism and ancient inscriptions, inviting viewers to decode its meaning. El Dit demonstrates Tàpies' unique ability to merge physical materiality with philosophical inquiry.

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.
