Tàpies. Foregrounding Reality
to
Fundació Antoni Tàpies Carrer d’Aragó 255, 08007 Barcelona
Tàpies’ production in the 1960s and 1970s is characterized both by the consolidation of the language of the ‘matter paintings’ and by his determination to incorporate the object into his work.
In common with a new generation of artists working in the late 1950s, reality came to the fore as a reaction against the predominance of Informalism and Abstract Expressionism over the preceding two decades.
Tàpies integrated his objects into his artistic language through interventions that almost invariably revealed the artist’s hand or gesture, and which imprinted his personal stamp on the work.
