This catalog presents the life and work of Hans Hartung (1904-1989), a leading abstract artist who placed experimentation at the heart of his creative process. Through his paintings, ceramics, tapestries, works on paper, and painted pebbles, the wealth of technical innovations he developed and the tools he experimented with is shown. A key figure in 20th-century abstraction, Hans Hartung (1904-1989) does not allow himself to be confined to this role of historical precursor, because his vision of an art turned towards the future, towards human and technological progress, still challenges us today. The book, while retracing the artist's life, allows us to revisit his iconic works while showing the diversity of the media used, the variety of execution, the wealth of technical innovations he developed, and the range of tools he experimented with.
