Features: Tàpies, a Spanish painter. A representative figure of the Informalism movement. He sought to transcend any past artistic, developing a peculiar style. The diversity of his artistic experiments was regarded as informal and obscure. He acknowledged the influence of Eastern philosophy and established the Spanish Eastern Library in Barcelona. Perhaps to express his creative philosophy, he wrote memoirs in his later years, drawing inspiration from opposing the Franco regime to Marxism. His personal experiences held a public political significance, and his works were more like a small engine for social transformation.
