Tapies

by Victoria Combalía Dexeus

88 color and 14 black and white illustrations. This book about Antoni Tapies strengthens our intrinsically artistic knowledge of the painter with a text supported by a lucid, well documented cultural conciousness. The author analyses a good number of specific paintings, the reciprocal relationships and connections of which with other cultural facts or events are established with very sound arguments. The author's intelligent exposition is of great assistance to us in our attempts to further our acquaintance with the work of this great Catalan artist--an oeuvre capable of successive interpretations which gradually reveal to us, as in this case, its greatness and its profundity.
