Hans Hartung
 
Biography
 
1904 - 89 born Leipzig, Germany and studied at Dresden and Munich, where he met Kandinsky . He moved to Paris in 1926 and became one of the most successful artists of the École de Paris, evolving a calligraphic, linear style. This he employed both in his paintings (generally simply numbered rather than titled) and later in wire sculptures. Alongside astronomy and psychology, Hartung developed an interest in ‘Expressionism’, and in 1922 completed a series of untitled, abstract watercolours (Antibes, Foundation Hans Hartung).
