Early Life and Influences Born: Barcelona, Spain (1923) Died: 2012 Son of a lawyer and Catalan nationalist, Josep Tàpies i Mestre. Grew up in an environment exposed to Catalan public life and republicanism. First introduced to contemporary art through the magazine *d’ací i d’allà* at age 17. Suffered a near-fatal heart attack at 17 due to tuberculosis, spending two years convalescing in the mountains where he pursued his interest in art. Studied law for three years before dedicating himself solely to painting from 1943 onwards. Early influences included Paul Klee and Joan Mir…
A chart of Antoni Tàpies's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
