Description
Antoni Tàpies
Signes Sur Croix, 1976
-
In Signes Sur Croix, Antoni Tàpies condenses some of the central symbols of his mature language: the cross, the trace, and matter as a surface for thought. Created in 1976, during a period of intense graphic production, the work reflects his interest in elemental signs and in an austere poetics connected to European Informalism and Eastern spirituality.
The incorporation of collage reinforces the tactile dimension of the image, a defining feature in a work where sign and matter acquire the same intensity. The piece is referenced as a 1976 graphic work, executed in etching and color aquatint with collage on paper.
