Estudi de "Memòria personal" d'Antoni Tàpies des de la perspectiva de l'assaig literari

Abstract

Summary: The painter Antoni Tàpies wrote his autobiography Memòria personal when he reached middle age. But beneath the narrative structure typical of this genre, Memòria personal presents a number of features that allow us to label the book an essay. The most important feature is the use of argumentative strategies designed to explain the author’s ideological and personal evolution, with the ultimate aim of examining his conception of art and, in particular, the role of the artist in society. [Keywords: Essay; autobiography; literary theory; Antoni Tàpies]
