Antoni Tapies
Antoni Tapies was born in 1923 to a Barcelona family of publishers and booksellers. By the 1940s, in his 20s, Tapies was already exhibiting widely. He began drawing and painting as a young man, during a convalescence, and in the end gave up studying law to concentrate on art.
Later, in the era of Arte Povera, he worked in foam rubber and spray, varnishes and, for creating objects or sculptures, refractory clay and bronze. As an early Matter painter, he added dirt and other solids to his canvases, transmuting them into art and reminding viewers of the earth to which they would return. Coming from a bookish family, he also produced a number of artist's books and editions, working with collaborators such as Joseph Brodsky and Jose Saramago.
This collection of the artist's writings is available here for the first time in English. An interview with Manuel Borja-Villel, Director of the MACBA in Spain, completes the volume.
