Composition

"Composition" exemplifies Tachisme, a abstract French style that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s as part of the broader Art informel movement. Characterized by spontaneous brushwork and intuitive expression, Tachisme differs from geometric abstraction, emphasizing emotion and individual gesture. Often called Abstraction lyrique, the style shares similarities with abstract expressionism and is related to groups like COBRA and Gutai. "Composition" captures this movement's emphasis on dynamic, visceral artistry free from formal structure.
