(1). Another trend I want to focus on, which will be instrumental in tracing<br />

and contextualizing Albert Enz, is Informal Art. In 1951, Michel Tapié employed<br />

the term for the first time. More than an artistic movement, Informal Art was<br />

a different approach to representation in painting. Born in the post-war period,<br />

humanity as a whole, including artists, was deeply marked by dark,<br />

sad, and painful feelings. This pain, probably out of necessity, was represented<br />

in a new way, which also revealed a harsh critique of form.<br />

It's interesting to note how the works of these artists were a perfect expression<br />

of limitless liberation, emotion, spontaneity, and narration. In terms of<br />

painting techniques, they also differed from traditional ones: the use of spatulas,<br />

brushes, everyday objects, dripping or spraying paint was frequent.<br />

In this way, the artistic process transcended the boundaries of creativity,<br />

combining emotion with gesture. Albert Enz encompasses much of this history,<br />

starting from Post-Impressionism and reaching Informal Art, evident<br />

in both forms and colors, as well as content. Albert Enz's freedom is the<br />

meeting point of all avant-garde philosophies, where the implicit representation<br />

of the soul and emotions predominates.<br />
