It belongs to the album "Als mestres de Catalunya", formed by eight lithographs and a silkscreen, including the one on the cover, published by Sala Gaspar in Barcelona and printed by Damià Caus (Barcelona, lithographs) and Alexandre Tornabell (Gerona, silkscreen). On Guarro paper with the publisher's watermark, and Kraft paper for the silkscreen printing of the outer wrapping of the album. The album also contains, printed separately, two poems by Joan Brossa. Tàpies was initiated in art during his long convalescence from a lung disease. He progressively devoted himself more intensely to drawing and painting, and finally gave up his law studies to devote himself entirely to art. Co-founder of "Dau al Set" in 1948, he began to exhibit in the Salones de Octubre in Barcelona, as well as in the Salón de los Once held in Madrid in 1949. After his first individual exhibition in the Layetanas Galleries, he travels to Paris in 1950, with a scholarship from the French Institute. As a result of his solo exhibition in 1953 at the New York gallery of Martha Jackson, his international projection is strengthened. He was awarded prizes such as the Prince of Asturias, the Praemium Imperiale of the Japan Art Association, the National Prize of Culture, the Grand Prize of Painting of France, etc., and anthologies have been dedicated to him in Tokyo, New York, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Venice, Milan, Vienna and Brussels. He is represented in major museums around the world, such as the foundation that bears his name in Barcelona, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Guggenheim in Berlin, Bilbao and New York, the Fukoka Art Museum in Japan, the MoMA in New York and the Tate Gallery in London.
