Hans Hartung - Lyrisk abstraksjon

Fra tidlig av kopierte Hans Hartung de store mestrene i kunsthistorien. I begynnelsen av 1920-årene ble hans malerier knyttet til Vasilij Kandinskijs ekspressive ungdomsverker. Hans bilder ble mer abstrakte og senere fant han frem til en særpreget uttrykksform som representerer et lyrisk innslag i abstrakt kunst. Med frie og kraftige penselstrøk tegnet han en kalligrafisk virkende ornamentikk i dype farger mot en oftest stillferdig lysende bakgrunn. Lyrisk abstraksjon som en kunstnerisk bevegelse oppsto i Paris etter krigen. Det var en motsetning til geometrisk abstraksjon og ga mer rom for personlig uttrykk.

Hans Hartung - Utstillinger og innkjøp

På slutten av 1950-tallet begynte Hans Hartung å høste stor annerkjennelse for sin kunst. I 1960 fikk han den anerkjente førsteprisen ved Venice Biennale. Han hadde sin første separatutstilling i Paris 1947, og hadde siden en rekke utstillinger i både Frankrike og utlandet. Hans arbeider har også vært utstilt flere ganger i Norge. 

Hans Hartung er representert ved flere store kunstinstitusjoner: Centre Georges Pompidou i Paris, Tate Gallery i London, Museum of Modern Art i New York, Reina Sofía National Museum i Madrid, Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter ved Høvikodden m.fl.
