Bram Van Velde

Bram van Velde (Netherlands, 1895–1981) was a key figure in abstract expressionism, known for his bold color contrasts and emotionally charged compositions. Influenced by existentialism, his works explore themes of isolation and introspection. Van Velde’s unique style left a significant impact on post-war European art.

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.
