A French style of abstract painting, characterised by random splotches and dabs, it gained popularity in the 1940s and 1950s as part of the Art Informel movement. The name is derived from the French word tache, meaning “stain.” It was closely related to contemporaneous art movements and styles such as American Lyrical Abstraction, CoBrA and the European avant-garde group.
