Biography:
After studying to become lawyer in his hometown of Barcelona, Antoni Tapies switched his career to painting, but never received any formal art training. He was the founder of Dau al Set (“Seven on the Die”), a group of Spanish writers and artists. His paintings took use of many influences, including abstraction and Surrealism. Tapies held his first solo-exhibition in the United States in 1953 and created an international reputation. In his most recent paintings, he creates “matter” paintings that incorporate varieties of mixed media.
