About the Item

Antoni Tapies (Spain, 1923-2012) 'Nocturn Matinal', 1970 lithograph on paper. Lithograph in gray with two inks, black and red, on hand-operated newspaper printing 29.6 x 41.4 in. (75 x 105 cm.) Edition of 100 Publisher: Poligrafa Unframed ID: TAP1162-016 Hand-signed by author This work is part of the edition of the book Nocturn Matinal, produced jointly by Antoni Tàpies and the poet Joan Brossa (1919-1998) and published by Polígrafa. This lithograph belongs, specifically, to the rehaussée (“reinforced”) suite published together with the book in a numbered and signed edition of 100 copies. In this suite, a special edition of the book's lithographs, Tàpies adds some touches to the original motifs, such as, in this case, the inclusion of the four red strokes that enhance the composition. It appears reviewed in the catalog raisonné of Tápies Das graphische Werk 1947 – 1972, by Mariuccia Galfetti and edited by Erker-Verlag., Nº238a, page 145 ____________________________________________________________________ Antoni Tàpies was a Spanish artist known for his influential contributions to the abstract art movement. He was born in Barcelona in 1923 and began his artistic career in the 1940s. Tàpies' artwork often incorporated unconventional materials and techniques, such as using waste materials, mud, and sand in his paintings. He developed a distinctive style characterized by a rough and textured surface, often marked with gestural brushstrokes and symbolic motifs. Tàpies' art was deeply rooted in existentialist philosophy and explored themes of spirituality, materiality, and the human condition. He was influenced by Eastern philosophy and Zen Buddhism, which can be seen in the meditative and contemplative quality of his works. Throughout his career, Tàpies gained international recognition and exhibited his art extensively around the world. His works can be found in major museums and collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Tàpies also engaged in political activism and was a prominent figure in the cultural scene of Catalonia. He was awarded numerous honors and accolades, including the prestigious Praemium Imperiale in 2003. Antoni Tàpies passed away in 2012, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy that continues to inspire and influence artists to this day. His unique approach to abstract art and his exploration of philosophical concepts have made him one of the most celebrated Spanish artists of the 20th century.
