Hans Hartung, an artist born in Leipzig, was forcibly displaced from his home during the dark days of the Nazis and joined the French front. This man, with his challenging destiny, was in search of a new identity not only in war but also in the realm of art.
Art in the Post-War Era
After the end of World War II, Hartung was recognized as one of the most important figures of the Informel movement in Germany. His works, known for their vibrant colors and abstract forms, not only represent his personal experiences of war and migration but also reflect the social and cultural transformations in Germany. The recent exhibition in Schwäbisch Gmünd provides an opportunity to revisit the life and works of this great artist.
