Hans Hartung Lithograph Edited by Galerie de France

Creator: Hans Hartung
Offered by: Pavilion Antiques and 20thc

Description
Classically trained, Hartung (1904-1989) became a "Lyrical Abstractionist" in the early 1950s.
He moved from Germany to France when he was rejected from Nazi Germany on account of being a 'degenerate', because his painting style was associated with Cubism – an art movement incompatible with Nazi Germany's ideals. In 1935, when he attempted to sell paintings while visiting Berlin, the police tried to arrest him.
In 1947, in Paris he had his first solo exhibition. By the late 1950s he had achieved recognition for his gestural paintings, which were nearly monochromatic and characterized by configurations of long rhythmical brushstrokes or scratches. In 1960, he was awarded the International Grand Prix for painting at the Venice Biennale
This signed piece, is numbered 14 /75. Edited by Galerie de France, Paris.
Measures: Lithograph is 22.25" x 29.75" as framed, 31" x 38".

Message from Seller:

Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
