Literature: Mason 1986 (218); Engelberts 1937 (1).
Excellent impression on a full sheet. Edition Couturier.
Fautrier was one of the most important practitioners of Tachisme, a style of abstract painting adopted by some French artists from the 1940s, involving the use of dabs or splotches of colour, similar in aims to abstract expressionism.
He first trained in London at the Royal Academy School of Arts and the prestigious Slade School where he studied under Walter Sickert. By 1922 Fautrier settled in Paris where he started to experiment with colour and monochrome themes, working on etchings, woodcuts and drawings.
