Proof from a drawing by the artist, extract from Cahiers d'Art (1953) . Paper format 24 x 31 cm.
Our shipments are sent by an external service provider. Careful shipping with insurance.
Hans Hartung, born September 21, 1904 in Leipzig, and died December 7, 1989 in Antibes, is a French painter, photographer and architect of German origin, one of the greatest representatives of abstract art.
His extremely free technical experiments in the 1920s make him, in the eyes of many historians and critics, and in particular Will Grohmann, the precursor and pioneer of numerous avant-garde movements which will develop in the second half of the 20th century: among others the currents known as informal, gestural, tachist, lyrical, as well as action painting.
Hartung was also the architect of a villa in Antibes which today became the Hartung-Bergman foundation recognized as being of public utility, classified as “Remarkable Contemporary Architecture”, and which is responsible for the conservation and promotion of his work, as well as that of his wife, the Norwegian-born artist Anna-Eva Bergman. The Foundation was directed from 1994 to 2014 by François Hers and has been directed since 2014 by Thomas Schlesser.
