Composition

"Composition" exemplifies the Tachisme movement, a French style of Abstract painting that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by spontaneous brushwork and intuitive expression, it reflects the larger postwar trend of Art Informel. Often linked to Lyrical abstraction, Tachisme rejects geometric abstraction in favor of emotional and gestural mark-making, similar to abstract expressionism. This approach emphasizes the act of painting itself, capturing a sense of immediacy and personal expression typical of the movement.
