Hand-coloured lithograph. // Antoni Tàpies’ Nocturn matinal - 4 (1970) is a hand-colored lithograph that captures the artist's exploration of texture, abstraction, and symbolism. Created with a palette of soft greys and bold red lines intersecting at the center, the composition suggests a sense of balance and tension. A dynamic, swirling form occupies the center, reminiscent of a vortex or eye, with expressive black lines adding an organic and gestural quality. The red markings evoke the idea of direction or coordinates, subtly guiding the viewer’s gaze toward the core of the artwork. Tàpies, a prominent figure in Spanish art, often incorporated earthy textures and spiritual undertones, inviting introspection and contemplation on form, emptiness, 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.
