O uso de materiais atípicos, tais como areia e asfalto, faz lembrar a obra dos artistas da Arte Povera, que transformavam os elementos mais simples em obras de arte, enquanto que os rabiscos ao acaso são influenciados pela Arte Informal, um movimento que se centrava em obras abstractas inspiradas no subconsciente do artista. Nascido em Barcelona em 10 de Abril de 1923, Tàpies testemunhou em primeira mão os acontecimentos da Guerra Civil espanhola. A guerra teve um impacto importante na sua obra, dando-lhe uma dimensão influente e ocasionalmente um ponto de vista político. Tàpies é um dos mais importantes artistas espanhóis do pós-guerra, admirado pela beleza perene das suas obras.
................................................................................................
Antoni Tàpies was born December 13, 1923, in Barcelona. His adolescence was disrupted by the Spanish Civil War and a serious illness that lasted two years. Tàpies began to study law in Barcelona in 1944 but decided instead within two years to devote himself exclusively to art. He was essentially self-taught as a painter; the few art classes he attended left little impression on him. Shortly after deciding to become an artist, he began attending clandestine meetings of the Blaus, an iconoclastic group of Catalan artists and writers who produced the review Dau al Set. Tàpies’s early work was influenced by the art of Max Ernst, Paul Klee, and Joan Miró, and by Eastern philosophy. His art was exhibited for the first time in the controversial Salo d’Octubre in Barcelona in 1948. He soon began to develop a recognizable personal style related to matière painting, or Art Informel [more], a movement that focused on the materials of art-making. The approach resulted in textural richness, but its more important aim was the exploration of the transformative qualities of matter. Tàpies freely adopted bits of detritus, earth, and stone—mediums that evoke solidity and mass—in his large-scale works. In 1950, his first solo show was held at the Galeries Laietanes, Barcelona, and he was included in the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh. That same year, the French government awarded Tàpies a scholarship that enabled him to spend a year in Paris. His first solo show in New York was presented in 1953 at the gallery of Martha Jackson, who arranged for his work to be shown the following year in various parts of the United States. During the 1950s and 1960s, Tàpies exhibited in major museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and South America. In 1966, he began his collection of writings, La practica de l’art. In 1969, he and the poet Joan Brossa published their book, Frègoli; a second collaborative effort, Nocturn Matinal, appeared the following year. Tàpies received the Rubens Prize of Siegen, Germany, in 1972. Retrospective exhibitions were presented at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, in 1973 and at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York, in 1977. The following year, he published his prize-winning autobiography, Memòria personal. In the early 1980s, he continued diversifying his mediums, producing his first ceramic sculptures and designing sets for Jacques Dupin’s play L’Eboulement. By 1992, three volumes of the catalogue raisonné of Tàpies’s work had been published. The following year, he and Cristina Iglesias represented Spain at the Venice Biennale, where his installation was awarded the Leone d’Oro. A retrospective exhibition was presented at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris, and the Guggenheim Museum SoHo, New York, in 1994–95. Tàpies lives in Barcelona.

3:52 PMBlog bem interessante,com pinturas bem mais profundas que se possa imaginar.Digo que mesmo participando ativamente das Reflexões do Citador e do Blogdasabedoria, procurarei visitar com freqüência este também.
Como sugestão, eu peço que, como todos os itens postados são de sua autoria,JG(o que demonstra você ser um profundo conhecedor do assunto destas gravuras), seria interessante não apenas expô-las,mas trabalhá-las aqui no blog,para que o público compartilhe a sua visão,havendo um intercâmbio entre diferentes interpretações que estes possam gerar. Eis o verdadeiro intercâmbio cultural que se possa gerar,trabalhar, para pensar.

Obrigado Phil, não mereço tanto. Gostaria, e espero que não lhe pareça um atrevimento de minha parte, que me fizesse um e.mail com o que pensa acerca da sugestão que me faz. Ficaria muito grato. Abraço
