Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the Reihe Cantz series, this book looks at the emergence of informality in post-war art. This represents an important grouping for the variety of seemingly disparate styles that have flourished in the wake of modernism, taking under its umbrella the likes of tachism, action painting and abstract expressionism. This work is a critical synthesis of art in the last half of the 20th century, discussing artists that range from Pollock and Poulages to Saura and Schumacher.
