// 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 abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
