Dutch ..... Term die als eerste door de surrealisten werd gebruikt, op basis van dit begrip in de fysiologie en de psychiatrie, en die later werd toegepast op spontaan schrijven, tekenen en schilderen. Automatisme in de beeldende kunst kan ook betrekking hebben op technieken in andere bewegingen, zoals abstract expressionisme, waarbij in het algemeen verwezen wordt naar technieken waarmee met de hand dingen worden gemaakt en waarbij het toeval of psychologische ervaringen een rol spelen.
