Art seems to me a way to conquer death H.H

The international centrality of the works of Hans Hartung (1904-1989), from his first drawings in 1922, is known to all and has been well documented in major exhibitions organized, from the Venice Biennale in 1960 where he won the Grand Prize for painting, to the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris in 1969, the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1975 , the Tate Gallery in London in 1996 and numerous retrospectives that have been dedicated in museums around the world, from Berlin to Madrid, Leipzig in Beijing, Brussels and Nagoya in Japan to Taiwan.
The exhibition at the Gallery in Rome organized by Limen otto9cinque by Massimo Riposati in collaboration with the Hartung Foundation of Antibes and Galerie Sapone in Nice, documents in an exemplary way a moment that the artist himself defines: "Since 1970 I have a feeling of renewal. As if I have been granted a new force, a new youth"
Create harmony from discord is the great challenge of Hartung, and his whole life will be guided in the search for the rule that will bring the inharmonious accents in a sustainable balance .
Matured in love and admiration for Rembrandt, for Emil Nolde, Kokoschka, and not let himself be seduced by the Bauhaus and the geometric lessons of Kandinsky, who had met in Paris in the thirties and with whom he exhibited at the Pierre Gallery in 1936.
Far from the beginning of any figurative hypothesis, Hartung found in the rule of the golden section harmonious compromise between his rigorous design and innate desire to speed in the expression, because the Hartung's painting abandons the image but not the reality, and he writes "A different reality for me me, but still reality. As for my painting, I think in fact that helds a relationship, even though very complex relationships with what has been agreed to call the external reality"and again: "Painting for me has therefore always assumed the existence of reality: this reality that is resistance, momentum, speed, thrust, but that I don't fully understand when I grab it, I circumscribe it, immobilized for a moment that I would like to see lasting forever. "
Hartung undisputed master of lyrical abstraction, has influenced many of the informal experiences after the war, and can be considered a European artist: German-born and naturalized French lost a leg fighting against the Nazis in the Foreign Legion and painfully against his country; traveled to Italy, crossing it on a bicycle, he married in 1929 Anna-Eva Bergman, a Norwegian artist, in '39 he married the Spanish Roberta Gonzales and again, after a second divorce, Anna-Eva Bergman in 1953, returned to Paris from Norway. Since 1994 his home / studio has become headquarters of the Foundation Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman, an extraordinary center for studies and research on one of the Fathers of Contemporary Art.
