Hans Hartung, born September 21, 1904 in Leipzig, and died December 7, 1989 in Antibes, is a French painter, photographer and architect of German origin, one of the greatest representatives of abstract art.
His extremely free technical experiments of the 1920s made him in the eyes of many historians and critics, and in particular Will Grohmann, the precursor and the pioneer of many avant-garde movements that would develop in the second half of the 20th century: among others the so-called informal currents, gestural, tachist, lyrical, as well as action painting.
Hartung was also the architect of a villa in Antibes which has now become the Hartung-Bergman foundation recognized as being of public utility, classified as “Remarkable Contemporary Architecture”, and which is responsible for the conservation and enhancement of his work, as well as that of his wife, the artist of Norwegian origin Anna-Eva Bergman.
The Foundation was managed from 1994 to 2014 by François Hers and has been since 2014 by Thomas Schlesser.
