// Nocturno Matinal by Antoni Tàpies, a limited edition mixed-media print from 1970, is a powerful and evocative composition that combines abstract and gestural elements. The artwork features dark, handprint-like marks that appear smudged and mirrored across the center of the piece, creating a sense of duality and reflection. The textured, earthy background with stitched-like lines and pinned corners adds to the raw, tactile quality of the work, imbuing it with a handmade, almost ritualistic presence. Tàpies’ use of symbolic marks and earthy tones evokes themes of memory, physicality, and introspection, encouraging viewers to interpret the piece on both personal and universal levels. This work, part of an edition of 100, exemplifies Tàpies' exploration of materiality and the expressive potential of abstract forms.

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.
