San Antonio - Des Moines Art Center. Des Moines - Musée d'Art Contemporain. Montréal, 1977: cat. n.º 98 Antoni Tàpies was born on December 13, 1923 in Barcelona, ​​Spain. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor and art theorist, considered one of the most prominent artists of the 20th century. From a young age he showed interest in art and literature, studying law at the University of Barcelona and at the same time attending the city's School of Arts and Crafts. During this time, he had the opportunity to meet artists and writers such as Joan Brossa and Joan Miró, who had a significant influence on his artistic development. In his early works, Tàpies experimented with different techniques and styles, but it was in the mid-1940s that he began to develop his characteristic style. Inspired by informal art and arte povera, he used everyday materials and objects in his works, such as cardboard, sand and rags, creating abstract textures and shapes. In addition, he used symbols such as crosses and question marks, which reflected his philosophical and political concerns. During the following years, Antoni Tàpies continued to explore new techniques and themes in his art. He incorporated elements of Eastern art and Zen philosophy into his work, and was also interested in digital art and the use of new materials. His style evolved towards a more minimalist aesthetic, using neutral colors and simple lines. In addition to his career as a painter and sculptor, Tàpies also stood out as a writer and art critic. He published several books on art theory and participated in numerous international conferences and exhibitions. Throughout his career, he received numerous awards and recognitions, such as the Prince of Asturias Award in 1990 and the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 1993. His works are found in important museums and collections around the world, and His artistic legacy remains a significant influence on contemporary art. Antoni Tàpies passed away on February 6, 2012 in Barcelona, ​​leaving a lasting mark on the art world.
