“Hans Hartung, ou la fabrique du geste” is a major retrospective held at the Mus\u00e9e d’art moderne de la ville de Paris<\/em> (MAMVP) from October 11, 2019 through March 1, 2020. The first in 50 years, the show is an ideal occasion to retrace not only Hartung’s impressive career, but also the important artistic and familial ties that bind the German-born artist and the Gonz\u00e1lez family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the exhibition, the 300 works displayed cover the entirety of Hartung’s career. His pioneering role in abstract art in France is highlighted, as well as his constant experimentation and innovation, in terms of his painting techniques and practices, as well as with other media, like photography, print and ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glimpses of Hartung’s close relationship with the Gonz\u00e1lez family also shine through.  The story begins in 1937, when Hartung presents himself to Julio Gonz\u00e1lez, whose work he admired.  Gonz\u00e1lez takes the young Hartung under his wing, and introduces him to his groundbreaking autogenous welding technique that he used to revolutionize 20th century metallic sculpture. <\/p>\n\n\n
