191 Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012) – Amor / Massa / Libertat – Double-Page Lithograph from Derrière Le Miroir No. 180 (1969)

This powerful double-page lithograph by Antoni Tàpies was published in Derrière Le Miroir No. 180 in 1969 by Maeght Éditeur, Paris. Rendered in white chalk-like markings on a matte black field, the composition combines crosses, fingerprints, and handwritten inscriptions such as “AMOR,” “LIBERTAT,” and the crossed-out word “MASSA,” evoking themes of resistance, identity, and personal struggle. Tàpies used the printed surface as a field of tension, treating it as a wall or slate onto which symbolic language and traces of presence are violently inscribed or erased. This work is emblematic of Tàpies' political engagement in late-Francoist Spain and his philosophical commitment to matter, silence, and expression.
