He was one of the influential painters of the Tachisme movement.Noted for his etchings and for use of stains (taches) of colour dabbed onto the canvas,as exampled by his painting Composition c. 1950. Although unrecognised in his lifetime he pioneered a new style of expressive abstraction.

WOLS
(Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze-Battmann; Berlín, 1913-París, 1951) Pintor alemán. Tras una breve formación en la Bauhaus de Dessau, se trasladó a París (1932). Trabajó como fotógrafo, y empezó luego a dibujar con tinta china y a pintar acuarelas. Tras la II Guerra Mundial cultivó un tipo de pintura realizada con improvisaciones de líneas y manchas de colores muy expresivas (Le bateau ivre). Se le considera uno de los primeros pintores informalistas, precursor del tachismo y del gestualismo.
