// Antoni Tàpies' Mitjó (1971) is a limited edition etching that reflects his characteristic style of integrating everyday objects with a minimalist and symbolic approach. The central motif is a soft, almost ghostly image of a single sock rendered in a pale tone, accompanied by several overlapping X marks beneath it, which may imply a repetitive or meditative act of marking. In the upper left corner, two horizontal brushstrokes—one blue and one green—add a subtle contrast and color balance to the composition’s muted palette. Tàpies often used familiar objects like socks to evoke introspection and to challenge perceptions of ordinary items as conduits for deeper meaning. The simplicity and placement of elements suggest themes of presence, absence, and memory, encouraging viewers to ponder the significance of humble, everyday objects.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
