100 signed and numbered copies; Plate size: 53.5 x 68 cm. Artwork size: 73.5 x 90 cm. Perfect condition; Etching and aquatint, with acrylic by the artist and signed in pencil by the artist. // Flecha by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1990, is a powerful piece combining etching, aquatint, and acrylic. Limited to 100 signed and numbered copies, this artwork features a dark, layered composition where earthy tones of brown and black interplay with textured markings and abstract shapes. A prominent white arrow, or flecha, sweeps across the central area, drawing the viewer’s eye through the dense, collage-like space. This central symbol, along with gestural marks and scattered handprints, adds a dynamic, almost narrative quality to the piece, inviting interpretations of movement or direction. The artwork’s tactile quality and complex layering reflect Tàpies' exploration of symbolism and materiality, blending both primitive and modernist elements in a contemplative, enigmatic style.

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.
