Postwar abstract painting in France and art informel
Art Informel is an avant-garde movement in painting centered in Paris after World War II. In French, "informel" means "without set form"; "Art Informel" is the term devised by the critic Michel Tapié in advocating the new type of abstract painting that appeared in France after the war. This movement's pioneers were Jean Fautrier, Wols, and Jean Dubuffet. Other artists engaged in it included Georges Mathieu, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Henri Michaux, Pierre Soulages, Zao Wou-Ki, Domoto Hisao, and Imai Toshimitsu etc. These artists cast off the representational, structural, and geometric concepts that had held sway in painting to experiment with expressing the subconscious, unconstrained by reason. This exhibition introduces about 100 paintings by artists in postwar France who sought to create a new approach to painting that would transcend the achievements of Monet, Cézanne, and Picasso. -- Museum website.
The Shape of Freedom
This book gives new insights into the flowering of radical abstraction after 1945, focussing on the creative interplay between painters in the wider orbit of Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel. Following World War II, Western painting went in completely new directions. A young generation of artists turned their backs on the dominant styles of the interwar period: Instead of figurative representation or geometric abstraction, painters in the orbit of Abstract Expressionism in the US and Art Informel in Western Europe pursued a radically impulsive approach to form, color, and material. As an expression of individual freedom, the spontaneous artistic gesture gained symbolic significance. L...

Jean-Pierre Wilhelm, Informel, Fluxus und die Galerie 22 : "Le hasard fait bien les choses"
Jean-Pierre Wilhelm was one of the most interesting protagonists of post-1945 contemporary art. He opened the legendary Galerie 22 in Düsseldorf in 1957 with an exhibition of German art informel. Hitherto unknown documents from the estate are published here for the first time, showing how Wilhelm's idea of Galerie 22 was enduringly realised.
The Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists
Covering Western art from the ancient Greeks to the present day, this best-selling and authoritative dictionary is more wide-ranging than any comparable reference work. It contains over 2,500 clear and concise entries on styles and movements, materials and techniques, and museums and galleries. It also includes biographical entries for artists, critics, collectors, dealers, and patrons, with places and full dates of birth and death (in many instances correcting misinformation that has found its way into other sources). For this new edition, entries have been thoroughly revised and updated, and more than fifty new entries have been added, for example Tracey Emin and Jack Vettriano. Browsers a...
Intensely Dutch
Uncompromising, confronting, optimistic after the SecondWorldWar a new young generation of Dutch artists took to modernity as never before. For them it was a time of renewal. Bright colour, impasto and vigorous handling were features of their work. This catalogue is published to accompany the exhibition presenting the work of some of the most important Dutch artists of the post-war period, including those associated with CoBrA (Karel Appel, Constant, Corneille and Lucebert) and art informel (JaapWagemaker, Jan J Schoonhoven and Bram Bogart) and those who preceded them, like Bram van Velde andWillem de Kooning, whose work found international favour after theWar. The exhibition will provide a rare first-hand introduction to modern Dutch art, incorporating the collaborations that many artists had with Dutch poets (Bert Schierbeek, Jan G Elburg, Simon Vinkenoog).
