Condition / defects: In good vintage condition. A few signs of wear and tear are visible - slight craquelure of the turquoise enamelled layer on the small plate.
Special features: Tachism (from French la tache "color stain") is a direction of Informel in abstract painting that originated in Paris in the 1940s and was active until around 1960. The term was coined by the French art critic Pierre Guéguen, who called the works derogatory tachisme (German fleckwerk).
In Tachism, the artist tries to depict spontaneous sensations and the unconscious, avoiding any rational control, by applying spots of color to a canvas. In the USA, a closely related painting method, action painting, emerged at the same time in abstract expressionism; both terms are often used synonymously. (Wikipedia)
