Jean Fautrier (1898–1964) was a French artist best known for his contributions to Tachisme, a French style of abstract painting that was mainly seen throughout the 1940s and 1950s. He studied at various schools, all of which he found to be disappointing. Fautrier had his first solo show in Paris in 1924 and continued to produce art until his death.
