The artwork entitled “Les Haricots” was created by Antoni Tàpies in the year 1969 and belongs to the Art Informel movement. This piece falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork “Les Haricots” presents a minimalist composition, featuring several scattered bean-like forms floating across a predominantly white background. The central forms are subtle and delicate, while the bold, thick black strokes on either side of the piece create a striking contrast. These black angular lines appear to frame or perhaps direct attention towards the center, imbuing the piece with both a sense of structure and a dynamic quality. The combination of the sparse use of forms with the pronounced black elements invokes a sense of contemplation and abstraction, characteristic of Antoni Tàpies’ style within the Art Informel movement.
