Abstract
'Composition' exemplifies Tachisme, a French abstract painting style from the 1940s and 1950s that emerged as part of the broader Art informel movement. Characterized by intuitive brushwork and spontaneous expression, Tachisme is often seen as Europe's response to abstract expressionism, yet it maintains unique stylistic differences. This movement shifted away from geometric abstraction toward a more visceral, lyric abstraction. 'Composition' captures this free-form, action-oriented approach that aligns with related groups like COBRA and Gutai.
