machismo
Exaggerated pride in masculinity, perceived as power, often coupled with a minimal sense of responsibility and disregard of consequences. In machismo there is supreme valuation of characteristics culturally associated with the masculine and denigration of characteristics associated with the feminine. It has for centuries been a strong current in Latin Amer. politics and society. Caudillos, prominent in the history of Latin America, have typified machismo with their bold and authoritarian approach to government and their willingness to employ violence to achieve their ends.
Tachism
(from French, tache: "spot") Style of painting practiced in Paris after World War II and through the 1950s. Like its U.S. equivalent, action painting, it featured the intuitive, spontaneous gesture of the artist's brush stroke. The Tachists, incl. Hans Hartung (1904-1989) and Georges Mathieu (b.1921), produced large works of sweeping brush strokes and of drips, blots, stains, and splashes of color. Tachism was part of the postwar movement known as Art Informel, inspired by U.S. Abstract Impressionism.
