Detroit - Suite: Cats Portfolio // Pink Cat by Karel Appel, created in 1979, is a vivid lithograph that is part of the Cats Portfolio. The limited edition print, rendered on Japan paper, features Appel’s characteristic use of bold, gestural strokes and a dynamic color palette.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
