Prof. Hans Flauaus (1914 - 1989, Ulm) - Interferences, 1981
Prof. Hans Flauaus (1914 – 1989, Ulm) – Interferences, 1981
Acrylic paints on cardboard, unframed. Monogrammed and dated 1981 on the lower right, with artist’s stamp on the reverse. From the artist’s estate, directly from the family. This work shows a powerful, gestural abstract composition in which color and line function as equal means of expression. It impresses with its intense color effect, its rhythmic lines, and the palpable tension between order and free expression.
Hans Flauaus was born in Hähnlein a.d. Bergstraße in 1914. After graduating from high school, he studied for five years at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, where he was a master student of Prof. Heinrich Altherr. In 1940, he was drafted into the Wehrmacht and returned in 1949 from Russian captivity, where he translated many of his war impressions into paintings. In 1968, he was awarded the Friedland Prize. Solo exhibitions in Ulm, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Murnau, Biarritz, Paris, and New York. Also various group exhibitions with other artists of World War II such as Otto Herrmann, Sigurd Lange, and Theo Sand.
