The artwork “Cartography” by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1976, is a remarkable piece belonging to the Art Informel movement and falls within the genre of figurative art.
The artwork employs a muted color palette, dominated by shades of beige, black, and reddish-brown. It features an abstract representation of a map or grid, overlaid with various markings, lines, and enigmatic symbols. At the top, hand-drawn notations include the names “Montserrat,” “Teresa,” and “Antoni.” The background consists of a light beige tone, complemented by splashes and stains of red and black on the lower segment, adding texture and visual interest. The grid, filled with intersecting curved lines, suggests a cartographic element, hinting at a layered meaning behind the superficial map-like appearance.
