Wols

Wols was the pseudonym of Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze (27 May 1913 – 1 September 1951), a German painter and photographer predominantly active in France. Though broadly unrecognized in his lifetime, he is considered a pioneer of lyrical abstraction, one of the most influential artists of the Tachisme movement. He is the author of a book on art theory entitled Aphorismes de Wols.
