Answer the following question: Information: - Abstract expressionism is a postWorld War II art movement in American painting, developed in New York in the 1940s. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris. Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine "Der Sturm", regarding German Expressionism. In the United States, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky. - Tachisme (alternative spelling: Tachism, derived from the French word "tache", stain) is a French style of abstract painting popular in the 1940s and 1950s. The term is said to have been first used with regards to the movement in 1951. It is often considered to be the European equivalent to abstract expressionism, although there are stylistic differences (American abstract expressionism tended to be more "aggressively raw" than tachisme). It was part of a larger postwar movement known as Art Informel (or "Informel"), which abandoned geometric abstraction in favour of a more intuitive form of expression, similar to action painting. Another name for Tachism is Abstraction lyrique (related to American Lyrical Abstraction). COBRA is also related to Tachisme, as is Japan's Gutai group. - Serge Poliakoff ( January 8 , 1906 -- October 12 , 1969 ) was a Russian - born French modernist painter belonging to the ' New ' Ecole de Paris ( Tachisme ) . - Lyrical abstraction is either of two related but distinct trends in Post-war Modernist painting: - Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist. After reading the paragraphs above, we are interested in knowing the entity with which 'serge poliakoff' exhibits the relationship of 'movement'. Find the answer from the choices below. Choices: - abstract expressionism - action painting - geometric abstraction - lyrical abstraction - tachisme
