C’est en mettant les œuvres de Sam
Francis et Hans Hartung côtes à côtes que nous voyons vraiment l’importance que mettent ces deux artistes sur la vivacité des couleurs et de la lumière
Side by side, the works of Sam Francis and Hans Hartung reflect on the importance that these two artists place on the brightness of colours and light
Sam Francis et Hans Hartung ont eu de longues carrières fructueuses, ils ont cotoyé les mêmes cercles d'artistes et les mêmes galeries, pourtant ces deux grands maîtres de l'abstraction d'aprèsguerre n'ont jamais eu de regards croisés.
Pour la première fois, leurs œuvres vont se côtoyer dans une exposition consacrée à déterminer la similitude de leurs ambitions, de leurs thématiques et de leurs approches artistiques dans l’expérimentation du geste et de la matérialité.
Hans Hartung et Sam Francis vont avoir la compulsion de peindre, - l’un pour vaincre une peur et l’autre pour accabler une douleur. Poussés par une même motivation de se surmonter, ces deux artistes se servent de leur créativité comme moyen d’évasion. Quand nous regardons une œuvre de Hans Hartung ou de Sam Francis, nous constatons qu’elles portent une dimension presque thérapeutique. Leurs circonstances faisaient qu’ils ne pouvaient pas s’empêcher d’explorer leur créativité et de manifester leurs émotions, et parfois leurs frustrations, par la peinture.
Avant-propos | Foreword
Sam Francis and Hans Hartung had long fruitful careers, and although they mingled with the same artists’ groups and galleries, the works of these two masters of post-war abstraction never converged.
For the first time, their artworks will be presented side by side in an exhibition devoted to showcasing their similarities. Looking closer one finds that their ambitions, thematics and approaches towards experimenting with movement and materiality have an undeniable likeness.
Hans Hartung and Sam Francis had the compulsion to paint — one to conquer a fear and the other to overcome pain. Both animated by the same motivation of surpassing themselves, these two artists used their creativity as a means of escape. When looking at a painting by Hans Hartung or Sam Francis, one cannot help but observe the therapeutic dimension of the works. The artists’ circumstances made it so that the need to explore and express their emotions, and at times their frustrations, manifested by means of painting.
