Jean Fautrier

French · 1898–1964

Art Informel Tachisme

Also known as:

Fautrier, J. Fautrier, Jean

Fautrier's 'Hostages' series—thickly impastoed, ambiguous heads created during the Nazi occupation—are among the most powerful works in postwar European art, bearing witness to violence through material accumulation rather than depiction. A founding figure of Art Informel who influenced Dubuffet, he appears irregularly at auction and commands significant prices.
