Antoni Tàpies

good work

buena recopilación, .... pero esa música no acompaña nada.

I think, (although I don't know) it's because Tapies scratches at the truths which irritate us and cause us to think about art, it takes us back to a love of shape, form and texture which are fundemental or primeval and are in essence dealing with the same answers that Gaudi, Dali, Miro and Picasso were seeking to find. So rather than there being no clothing I see the weight of a whole wardrobe of clothes balanced on the broad back of Tapies. each garment tailored by his fellows.

Hi TedRob. I am a learning art student. How would you sum up Tapies work in a few lines? I found your comments on tapies taking us back to the foundations, to something fundamental and primal fascinating. How doid this relate to his interest in Buddhism? I think that I have a style somewhat similar to him but cannot verbalize what may be an entirely unconscious process. And my art education so far has afforded me to be fairly critical to at least the design of graphics, illustartion etc etc.

Seguro que con el dinero de Tàpies conseguíriamos el reconocimiento internacional que la pintura y los pintores se merecen (nos merecemos) por antigüedad ancestral y por bien social!

tapies is going back after goya specially,his work is a shaddow , a proection of the self, this man is running after his father{GOD}

I found inspiration here, thank you

am i the only one who sees that the emperor has no clothes?
i've seen his works in galleries all over spain,
but honestly i can't distinguish anything he does from garbage.
in barcelona, huge lines form to see the works of
gaudi, miro, dali, and picasso, but _nobody_ goes to fundacio tapies.

its in the eye of the beholder. and thats that.

Other than people like myself...
Tapies is very, very special to a small audience.
