Hans Hartung, l’œuvre ultime / Hans Hartung, the ultimate work (book) by Sapone. 2006. Artistic & publishing company. Hard cover, like new. Book in French and Italian.
The artist’s last works are exhibited, as well as sixteen large canvases, created shortly before the artist’s death, whose twentieth anniversary is being celebrated. Paintings born from a vital impulse which expresses a true euphoria in the last days of a life dedicated to art.
Hans Hartung and his painting: Here is how the artist defined, in 1947, his work and his motivations for painting: “It is an emotional state which pushes me to trace, to create certain forms in order to try to convey and to provoke a similar emotion in the spectator. And then it gives me pleasure to act on the web. It’s this desire that pushes me: the desire to leave the trace of my gesture on the canvas, on the paper. It is the act of painting, drawing, scratching, scratching.
Lyrical abstraction: This term, which appeared for the first time in 1947 from the pen of the critic Jean-José Marchand, brings together artists often perceived as defenders of gestural painting, free, spontaneous, emancipated from all control.
Even if they all tend to affirm the powers of the sign, color, material or line, each develops very specific techniques and goals. Gérard Schneider (1896-1986), Hans Hartung (1904-1989), Camille Bryen (1907-1977), Georges Mathieu (1921-2012) or Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) are part of what we could call the pioneers of lyrical abstraction.
