Jean Fautrier (1898 - 1964) was a prolific painter, printmaker, illustrator and sculptor. He was said to be the first practitioner of the art movement named 'Tachism' - a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s. it is often considered to be the European response to 'abstract expressionism.' This large book is a wonderful tribute to the artist and an in depth exploration of his work.
