Tachisme
Tachisme (alternative spelling: Tachism, derived from the French word tache - stain) was a French style of abstract painting in the 1940s and 1950s. It is often considered to be the European equivalent to abstract expressionism. Other names for this movements are l'art informel (similar to action painting) and abstraction lyrique (lyrical abstraction).
