Catalogue Note

Nella pittura di Hartung ritroviamo “emozione e pensiero, istinto e riflessione, oggettività e impennate di soggettivazione, logicità di costruzione o alogicità d’una primordiale condizione di natura, tutto è riassunto nella continua spinta a creare con mente e occhio attenti alle risonanze d’un respiro cosmico così come ai trasalimenti interni, per farne una pittura che è summa delibata di emotività” (Mallé).

In quest’opera Hartung riesce a catturare qualcosa della sua “magia primitiva”che si muove al di là della forma tangibile e giunge in una dimensione puramente emotiva: il nero, l’intenso nero, rende la superficie misteriosa, marcandola con dei graffi oscuri. In Hartung's painting we find "emotion and thought, instinct and reflection, objectivity and upsurge of subjectivity, logic of construction or alogicity of a primordial condition of nature, everything is summarized in the continuous drive to create with a mind and eye attentive to the resonances of a cosmic breath as well as internal woes, to make it a painting that is charged with emotionality "(Mallé).

In this work Hartung manages to capture something of his "primitive magic" that moves beyond the tangible form and reaches a purely emotional dimension: an intense black, renders the surface mysterious, marking it with dark scratches.
