Art Informel - Informalism

The artists Wols, Jean Fautrier and Hans Hartung, who was influenced by Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, are regarded as direct pioneers of Informel. Willi Baumeister, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Theodor Werner and Fritz Winter are also named as important instigators of German Informel. Carl Buchheister was not only an instigator but also one of the early representatives. Claude Monet with his water lily paintings is regarded as a more indirect ancestor and source of inspiration.
