Listed on page 78 of Tàpies. graphic work.1979-1986. Erker-Verlag, 2002. // Glissement 1 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1981, is a mixed-media print that combines etching and carborundum, highlighting Tàpies' dedication to texture and abstract symbolism. Limited to 75 signed and numbered copies, this artwork on Arches paper presents a rough, scratched surface where black, gestural strokes form abstract shapes and lines. A notable black cross appears in the lower left corner, partially intersected by a soft beige band, adding a subtle contrast to the monochromatic scheme. The work’s title, Glissement (meaning slippage in French), suggests movement or displacement, an idea reinforced by the diagonal lines that seem to pull the forms across the surface. This piece, published by Lelong Gallery in Paris, is listed in Tàpies’ catalog raisonné, marking its significance within his exploration of materiality and visual language.

What is matter painting?
Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.
