Detailed Description

Tachisme is a form of abstract art that developed in the 1940s. It is characterized by spontaneous, rapid and gestural brushstrokes. Tachisme is often associated with the French artist Jean Dubuffet and the Italian artist Piet Mondrian. Tachisme first emerged in the early 1940s, during World War II. It was a reaction against the strict rules of the Parisian art world. Tachisme artists sought to express themselves through their art, without worrying about the rules. Some of the most famous Tachisme paintings include Jean Dubuffet’s “Asphyxiating Culture” (1944) and Piet Mondrian’s “Broadway Boogie Woogie” (1942-1943). Tachisme had a significant influence on the development of Abstract Expressionism in the United States. Many of the leading Abstract Expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, were influenced by Tachisme.
