The artwork entitled “Fregoli,” created by Antoni Tàpies in 1969, is a representative piece of the Tachisme art movement and belongs to the genre of abstract art. Tachisme, a style characterized by spontaneous brushstrokes and splatters, is evident in this abstract composition.
In the artwork, a central fan-like shape dominates the canvas, created with broad, sweeping strokes of pale beige and tan hues. Surrounding this focal point are various splattered patterns, likely produced with an impromptu technique, and painted in a contrasting reddish-orange and grey, giving the composition a dynamic and energetic feel. The irregular distribution of the paint lends the piece an organic and almost chaotic nature, which is typical of Tachisme. The color palette, dominated by pastel tones with occasional vibrant splashes, emphasizes a delicate balance between order and disorder, form and formlessness. The overall composition encourages the viewer to engage with the emotional texture and depth that abstract art can convey.
