Hans Hartung (1904-1989) - Farandole (diptyque)

Farandole (Diptych) (1971) is a rare set of two original lithographs by the renowned abstract artist Hans Hartung (1904–1989). These works were created specifically for the cover of Hartung’s book Farandole and printed and published by Polígrafa (Barcelona), one of the most important art publishers of the 20th century. The diptych exemplifies Hartung’s unmistakable visual language: energetic black brushstrokes cut through vibrant fields of yellow and deep blue, creating a strong sense of rhythm, movement, and tension. The gestural marks convey spontaneity and controlled intensity, hallmarks of Hartung’s contribution to Art Informel and lyrical abstraction. Although unsigned and unnumbered, these lithographs are authentic publisher’s prints, valued for their historical and artistic relevance. They date from 1971, a mature period in Hartung’s career, when his gestural vocabulary had reached full expressive power.
