// Déchirure by Bram Van Velde, a 1977 lithograph, embodies the artist's exploration of abstract expressionism through bold, dynamic brushstrokes in black and shades of gray. The composition is dominated by sweeping, irregular shapes that intersect and overlap, creating a sense of tension and raw emotion. The title, which translates to Tear or Rift, suggests a theme of fragmentation or rupture, echoed in the forceful, almost violent strokes. Van Velde’s work often reflects existential themes, and this piece conveys a visceral depth, inviting viewers to feel the struggle and intensity of human experience through abstract form.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
