Aquatint, resin and carborundum - Size of the image: 70 X 93 cm - Size of the paper: 78 X 106.5 cm - Edited by Galería Lelong, Paris - Printed by J. Barbará, Barcelon - Catalogue pg. 82 . Tápies obra gráfica 1979-1986 // Antoni Tàpies' Pont (1981) is a striking mixed media print combining aquatint, resin, and carborundum on paper. Measuring 78 x 106.5 cm, the piece features bold red tones that dominate the composition, with heavy, textured forms. A thick, rectangular red arch or bridge structure seems to frame the central area, while black, chaotic scribbles and a wavy line contrast sharply against the smooth red background. The piece blends gestural abstraction with textured surfaces, a hallmark of Tàpies' exploration of materiality and spirituality. Published by Galería Lelong in Paris and printed by J. Barbarà in Barcelona, this work exemplifies Tàpies' deep connection to the physical and metaphysical, using layered textures to evoke a sense of depth and emotion.

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.
