Lithograph on Guarro paper - Signed and numbered in pencil - Literature : Galfetti 732 // Antoni Tàpies’ Poligrafa XV Anys (1980) is a lithograph on Guarro paper, combining elements of texture, abstraction, and gestural marks characteristic of the artist’s style. The composition centers around a dense, rectangular black form, layered with chaotic, calligraphic strokes that impart a sense of raw energy and movement. Above this, a bold, brush-like stroke of deep red arcs over the structure, introducing a dramatic contrast against the earthy background. Tàpies’ work often reflects his interest in the materiality of art and the expressive potential of marks and symbols, evoking themes of mystery and introspection. Signed and numbered, this piece exemplifies Tàpies’ influence in post-war Spanish art.

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.
