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 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.
