Hans Hartung

T1976-r42

1976

A dynamic explosion of bold black lines radiates outward against a warm, ochre-toned background, showcasing Hartung's signature gestural abstraction. The energetic spray-like marks, applied with mechanical tools, create a sense of spontaneous motion and raw expressive force. This late-career work exemplifies the artist's mastery of lyrical abstraction, balancing controlled technique with an almost primal visual energy.
