Antoni Tàpies, in full Antoni Tàpies Puig, marqués de Tàpies, (born December 13, 1923, Barcelona, Spain—died February 6, 2012, Barcelona), Catalan artist, credited with introducing contemporary abstract painting into Spain. He began as a Surrealist but developed into an abstract artist under the influence of French painting and achieved an international reputation.
In 1943 Tàpies began studying for a law degree at the University of Barcelona, but he abandoned this career in 1946 to devote himself to painting. He was largely self-taught as an artist. In 1948 he helped to found in Barcelona the Dau al Set (“Seven-Sided Die”), an organization of Surrealist artists and writers influenced especially by Paul Klee and Joan Miró, which published an artistic-literary review. In 1950 he saw the work of Jean Dubuffet, which turned him away from Surrealism and toward abstraction. Tàpies began in 1955 to work with a thick impasto, and these “matter” paintings, similar in their power and individuality to American Abstract Expressionist paintings, secured his world reputation. In his later works Tàpies began incorporating real objects such as buckets, mirrors, and silk stockings in his paintings—and even larger objects, as in his assemblage Desk and Straw (1970), in which an actual desk serves as the “canvas.” His works of lithography were noted for their cryptic, spontaneous effects. He also collaborated with poet Joan Brossa on a number of illustrated books.
In 1990 the Tàpies Foundation, which housed some 2,000 works by the artist, opened in Barcelona. Tàpies received the Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale prize for painting that same year. He was elevated to the Spanish nobility in 2010 with the hereditary title marqués de Tàpies.

Antoni Tàpies
Antoni Tàpies is considered to be Spain's most important painter after Picasso. His work is in the collections of the most important modern and contemporary museums around the world, as well as those of the most notable private collectors. Tàpies’s ultra-typical style was an almost industrial look, expressionistic slashes, thick impasto, rough and impassioned.
