Matterism

Matterism also known as Matter Painting (French: Haute Pâte, lit. 'thick paste') refers to a style of painting that emphasizes the material qualities of paint through heavy impasto. The style marked a return to impulses characteristic of abstract expressionism.^[1]^[2]

Matterism first emerged in Paris in the 1940s in the work of Jean Dubuffet and Jean Fautrier. The style reached widespread popularity in the 1950s.^[3]^[4]
