		Woman with a guitar by Georges Braque, 1913 Cubist house in Prague Cubism was probably the most important and influential art movement since the Italian Renaissance; it was an avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture in the early 20th century.
		The style was widespread in the 1940s and 1960s, and is closely associated with abstract expressionism (some critics have used the terms "action painting" and "abstract expressionism" interchangeably).
		The term was coined by the American critic Harold Rosenberg in 1952, and signaled a major shift in the aesthetic perspective of New York School painters and critics.

		In the painting "Meaningless Gesture" this style is well illustrated: the canvas is covered in light, cloud-like forms with thin streams of paint raining down.

		Abstract Expressionism (although initially it developed independently of it), and the term is often used as a generic label for any European painting of the time that parallels the American movement.
		Art Informel' (art without form) are often used more or less synonymously with Tachisme, although certain critics use them to convey different nuances, sometimes corresponding with niceties of theory rather than observable differences in practice.
		It seems reasonable, however, to regard Tachisme as one aspect of the broader notion of Art Informel.

		This contrapuntal quality resulting from the disengagement of color and line (line is descriptive, color autonomous) evokes Braque, Bonnard and Leger, while the reconciliation of pictorial depth and decorative flattening recalls Matisse.
		While Heron soon veered towards Tachisme in his own practice (for a while at least), something of this duality, between abstraction and its sensual, observational basis, remained crucial to his painterly sensibility.
		Still, the painting seems in sympathy with Tachisme, which only a few years previously Heron had derided in print.

	The Art of Pranas [Gailius] - Saule Jautokaite
		Since 1955 every year he participated in various salons of this famous city with his paintings, gouaches, water colors and drawings.
		At that time, when Pranas started to express himself as an artist, in Paris there was a very popular style called tachisme (from the French 'to stain, spot, blot').
		The art works of Pranas at the beginning have a touch of this style, with the difference that his works are more reminding of nature, especially with the elements of the plant and animal world.

		His act-painting is of the same metaphysical substance as the artist’s existence.” Rosenberg drew his image from his impression of American Abstract Expressionist painters such as Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, but comparable diction was also used in Europe, where terms such as
		[more], Art Autre, and Tachisme were used to discuss works by Hans Hartung, Matta, and Wols, among others.
		The theories behind these terms also identified the gesture—or act—of painting as the most significant aspect of the painter’s process.

		Dubuffet sought his own "ground zero" for art -- a place to begin anew with his "anti-cultural positions" and l'art brut.
		The "haute pâté" (thick paste) paintings of Fautrier, Wols, and Dubuffet gave impetus to Tachisme ("stain" or "blot"), otherwise known as l'art informel (or art of the informe).
		Other "Tachists" used humble discards sewn patiently together (Burri) or created thick, impastoed surfaces that evoked the cratered walls of war-torn Europe (Tapies).

	Art New England - April/May 2005 - Spotlight Reviews Rhode Island
		Splattering paint on canvas has become an iconic gesture among abstract painters since the mid-twentieth century.
		Splashing globs of paint and turning the canvas so it drips or blotting the wet paint suggests a serendipitous attitude toward composi-tion— think of the Action Paintings of Jackson Pollock or the Tachisme of Henri Michaux.
		Artists since then have sought to refine and incorporate these techniques: Sage Tucker-Ketcham is one of them.
