Etching; 90 signed and numbered copies. // Esgriafats Damunt Negre 2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1976, is a limited edition etching with 90 signed and numbered copies. This artwork embodies Tàpies' signature exploration of texture, gesture, and abstraction. The composition features a dark central rectangle filled with scratched and scribbled markings, layered with symbols, letters, and abstract lines. The chaotic yet deliberate scrawls suggest a mixture of language, mathematical notations, and raw expression. A red stripe on the left side adds a touch of contrast and intrigue amidst the muted black, white, and gray palette. The work evokes a sense of mystery, as if the viewer is deciphering a forgotten code or exploring the remnants of thought etched onto a blackboard. Tàpies uses these layered marks to convey depth, inviting contemplation of the intersection between form, language, and abstraction.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
