Color etching and aquatint with carborundum - Signed in pencil - Literature: Galfetti / Homs, 1122 // Antoni Tàpies’s Forma Ombrejada (1987) is a powerful example of his use of abstract forms and texture through the techniques of etching, aquatint, and carborundum. The composition features dark, shadow-like shapes combined with bold black strokes and areas of rich, deep red. The rough, textured elements create a sense of depth and tactile intensity, evoking the raw, expressive quality typical of Tàpies’s work. The contrast between the sharp black markings and the soft, shaded areas enhances the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The piece is signed in pencil and is part of a limited edition of 99. This print exemplifies Tàpies’s mastery in creating abstract compositions that challenge the viewer’s perception and invite contemplation on materiality and space.

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.
