Bio:
European abstract art of the 1940s was characterised by a growing interest in expressive painting, the independent role of colour, and the dissolution of traditional figurative subjects. Artists explored spontaneous brushwork, geometric structures, and organic forms, often working between recognisable imagery and pure abstraction. These developments helped establish the foundations of postwar Abstract Expressionism and European Art Informel.
