// Antoni Tàpies' Damunt diari, a limited edition etching from 1975, is a powerful example of his unique blend of abstraction and material experimentation. The work features a printed newspaper backdrop, over which expressive red and black gestural strokes dominate the composition. The juxtaposition of the orderly, text-filled newspaper with the dynamic, raw brushstrokes creates a stark contrast between control and chaos, order and spontaneity. This piece reflects Tàpies' fascination with everyday materials, such as newsprint, and his ongoing exploration of themes like communication, history, and the intersection of art and life. The bold use of color and texture emphasizes the physicality of the medium, inviting viewers to contemplate both the material and conceptual layers within the artwork.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
