Artist

Hans Hartung

Painting

Known as a painter of the “Ecole de Paris” and a member of the “lyrical abstraction”, Hans Hartung is not simply a post war-painter. In fact, his career began before World War II. The artist was born in 1904 in Germany and was already attracted to abstract expressionism as a child. At 18 he already had his own vibrant pictorial language, as is visible in a series of 60 expressive watercolors.
