Etching / Aquatint / carborundum // Antoni Tàpies' Quatre rius de sang (Four Rivers of Blood), a limited edition etching with aquatint and carborundum from 1972, exemplifies his masterful use of abstract forms and symbolic color. The composition is dominated by four bold, vertical red strokes, representing the titular rivers of blood, cutting across a thick horizontal yellow band. These elements create a striking contrast between the deep red and vibrant yellow, imbuing the piece with a sense of urgency and tension. The background features subtle inscriptions and sketch-like markings, typical of Tàpies' interest in blending the material and the metaphysical. The use of carborundum adds a textural dimension to the work, heightening its physicality. This piece reflects Tàpies' exploration of themes like violence, history, and the human condition, combining abstract forms with deep symbolic meaning.

What is Gestural?
Artwork by Joan Mitchell

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
