Signed on the plate. Titled on the rear and dated, plate no.22. Very good conditions with very small foxing on the lower left margins. This defect does not affect the image. The artwork represents a poetical composition through confident and strong strokes. The artwork is created with harmony in colors and shapes. The artwork is one of the typical graphic works realized by the artist. Over the course of his career in painting, printmaking, and etching, the Catalan artist has created his own artistic language characterized by symbols and marks from the politic and the social ground. His graphic production focuses on the same themes of this painting: love for his Catalan roots and loyalty to politics. In this artwork, noteworthy is the writing "Libertat", realized by the artist in the center of the composition above the Informal abstract shapes. Antoni Tàpies (Barcelona, 1923 – 2012). One of the greatest Spanish artists of the XX century, he is considered one of the leading figures of Informalism. After establishing his first atelier in Barcelona in 1946, he moved to Paris, where he met Picasso. In 1950, he was elected to represent Spain at the Biennial Art Fair in Venice. From this moment, Tàpies' career kept developing in influence and volume of work. Indeed, he was commissioned many works for public spaces and buildings. Tàpies was also an innovator in many fields, such as scenography and illustration. He exhibited his works throughout the world, winning many honors and awards. In 1987, the artist founded the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona.
