More information

Jean Fautrier var en fransk målare, gravör och skulptör som dog 1964. Han tillsammans med Jean Dubuffet anses vara bland de främsta företrädarna för den informella konsten.
Jean Fautrier var också en pionjär inom tekniken haute pâte (materialmålning). I början av 1910-talet flyttade Fautrier till London och studerade vid Royal Academy 1912. 1917 kallades han in i den franska armén och först efter första världskriget bosatte han sig i Paris, där han började sin karriär som konstnär. 1927 gjorde han en serie figurativa målningar som dominerades av dystra toner. Märkt av den tyska ockupationen.
Fram till sin död 1964, skapade Fautrier målningar av mer strukturerad karaktär där ränder, färgade linjer och mångfacetterade rutnät överlappade varandra.

Artist

Jean Fautrier was a French painter and printmaker. His first pieces in the beginning of the 1920s were figurative, where he built up forms with thick layers of paint. Two decades later, he was fully immersed in non-figurative painting, with a strong emphasis on the materiality of color. In this phase, he made marks with a brush or spatula, creating simple forms called "Otages" in muted colors, often only in shades of gray. Fautrier became a leading figure in the development of material as a means of expression towards "new realism" in the late 1950s. In his graphic work, he used lines as a contrast to the heavy color matter in his paintings.
