Jean Fautrier Biography
Jean Fautrier (1898-1964) was a French painter and sculptor, best known as a key representative of the Art Informel movement, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. His work is noted for its thick impasto and rough, textural qualities. Fautrier's most significant series, the "Otages" (Hostages), created during the German occupation of France in World War II, employed his distinctive 'matter painting' technique, evoking the violence and trauma of his era.
