// Antoni Tàpies' Visca Catalunya, created in 1976, is a powerful etching that combines abstract expressionism with a political statement. The artwork, dominated by bold red strokes and handprint-like marks, features the phrase Visca Catalunya (Long live Catalonia), expressing Tàpies' solidarity with Catalan identity and culture. The raw, gestural brushwork creates an intense, almost visceral atmosphere, evoking a sense of struggle and resilience. Tàpies’ use of red suggests themes of passion, resistance, and possibly even blood, underscoring the intense socio-political climate in Spain during the late 20th century. This work exemplifies Tàpies' ability to infuse abstract forms with deeply personal and cultural significance.
