peinture tachiste

Peinture tachiste, or Tachisme, is an art movement from the mid-20th century characterized by spontaneous, dynamic brushstrokes and an emphasis on the act of painting itself. Artists applied paint in an expressive, often rough manner, creating textured, abstract works that highlight emotion and movement rather than precise detail. It’s akin to a more energetic, freeform version of abstract art, emphasizing individual expression through visible, gestural marks. Tachisme is considered a European counterpart to American Abstract Expressionism, focusing on blending color, texture, and gesture to evoke mood and visceral impact.
