historical context / reference
Art Informel, Tachisme, and postwar European abstraction
Tate defines Art Informel as a French term for varied abstract-painting approaches in the 1940s and 1950s with improvisatory methods. AEU keeps Art Informel and Tachisme as their own historically situated terms, rather than flattening them into Abstract Expressionism because of visual or chronological overlap.
