Antoni Tapies - Spain

During the mid 1950s, Tàpies work shifted toward abstraction and he started implementing mixed media into his work. It was with these pieces that Tapies gained notoriety.

Tapies put to words his feelings regarding the commonplace of materials and their value to artwork in his 1970 essay, Listings wanted.
