Hans Hartung

T1980-k5

1980

A dynamic explosion of gestural marks radiates across the canvas in bold, sweeping strokes of black against a warm, luminous background. Hartung's signature energetic linework dominates the composition, reflecting his mastery of lyrical abstraction developed over decades. Created in the final years of his life, this large-scale acrylic work exemplifies his late style, in which he used unconventional tools to achieve spontaneous yet controlled bursts of expressive force.
