Art Informel

Art Informel is an abstract art movement that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, primarily in Europe. It emphasizes spontaneous expression, focusing on the physical act of creation rather than traditional forms or techniques. Artists use raw materials and improvisational methods, often resulting in textured, unrefined works that convey emotion and existential themes. Unlike structured styles, Art Informel embraces chaos and freedom, reflecting the post-war desire for new forms of expression. Key figures include Jean Dubuffet and Alberto Burri, who sought to break away from established artistic conventions and explore the deeper human experience.
