Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012) was a Spanish painter, sculptor and art theorist, who became one of the most famous European artists of his generation.
Tàpies has written essays which have been collected in a series of publications, some translated into different languages: "La pràctica de l’art" (1970), "L’art contra l’estètica," (1974), "Memòria personal" (1978), "La realitat com a art" (1982), "Per un art modern i progressista" (1985), "Valor de l’art" (1993) and "L’art i els seus llocs" (1999). These works include Tàpies reflecting on things such as art, life and politics. He also discusses the social role of art and the artist, reflects on the influences of his work, and explains his artistic as well as political views.
