Bibliography
The work will be published in the catalog raisonné of the work of Hans Hartung undergoing
realization by the Foundation.
 
He never ceased to draw from reality in an attempt to "fix the dynamism and strength of energy" (Hans Hartung) through his firm gesture, as defined by Achille Bonito Oliva in his text written for the catalog published by the Fondation Hartung -Bergman.
The art of Hans Hartung was much loved by the public and closely followed by Italian critics
over the years, starting from 1948, the year in which Giulio Carlo Argan, the first one, introduced him to the XXIV
Venice Biennale in the Peggy Guggenheim collection, up to the latest retrospectives.
