Description
Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012) - Poema. Original lithograph (or etching with carborundum depending on the edition) on wove paper, 84 x 63 cm. Signed in pencil by the artist. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work is a masterly demonstration of Tàpies' plastic language, in which the written word and the graphic sign merge to create a raw, metaphysical visual poetry. Faithful to the aesthetic of matierism, the Catalan artist uses calligraphic symbols, crosses and fragmented inscriptions that seem engraved in the memory of the sheet, evoking ancient walls or forbidden manuscripts. The imposing 84 x 63 cm format allows him to display the full dramatic power of his palette, often limited to earth tones, black and grey, underlining the austere and spiritual nature of his research. "Poema" is not a simple illustration, but an exploration of the book-object and the human trace, where every gesture becomes an incantation. The quality of the support and the depth of the inks bear witness to the care taken with this edition, making this piece an essential testimony to Tàpies' influence on European informal art.
