Antoni Tàpies (Spain, 1923–2012) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, and art theorist renowned for his abstract works that incorporated unconventional materials like sand, marble dust, and found objects. A leading figure in Art Informel, his textured surfaces and symbolic motifs explored themes of materiality and spirituality.

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.
