Quadrats i Grafismes (1976) by Antoni Tàpies is an etching that exemplifies the artist’s unique visual language—merging abstract form, gesture, and symbolic mark-making. The composition is divided into a grid of irregular squares, each animated by rough scribbles, textures, and enigmatic symbols like letters, crosses, and arrows. These elements evoke a sense of coded communication or personal archeology, as if the artist is excavating the subconscious through layered line and tone. Tàpies’ work here reflects his interest in matter, mysticism, and the tension between structure and spontaneity. Produced in an edition of 75, it stands as a tactile meditation on language and abstraction.

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.
