Visca Catalunya (1976) by Antoni Tàpies is a politically charged etching from his Negre i Roig series, created during Spain's transition from dictatorship to democracy. The composition features bold red strokes and handprint-like marks, with the phrase "Visca Catalunya" ("Long live Catalonia") partially obscured beneath expressive blobs of color. This work exemplifies Tàpies' ability to infuse abstract forms with deeply personal and cultural significance.

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.
