Hilla Jablonsky (1922-2019) - Abstrakte Komposition

Abstract composition in acrylic colors & chalk on paper from private collection (unique piece).
Hilla Jablonsky ranks among the central and recognized artists of German Informel. For her artistic work she received the Dr.-Theobald-Simon Art Prize (1989) as well as the renowned August Macke Medal from the city of Bonn (1999) and several other awards.

Jablonsky's works have been shown in over 50 solo and group exhibitions in Germany and internationally, including Vienna, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Seoul, Dublin and St. Petersburg. Her works are today part of public collections as well as important private collections at home and abroad.

After training with Alexej von Assaulenko, Cameron Hoover, Franz Radziwill and Albert Paris Gütersloh, she has worked as a freelance artist since 1968. She was a co-founder of the Frauenmuseum Bonn, honorary chairwoman of the artists’ association GEDOK Bonn, and served as a juror on numerous art committees.

“Hilla Jablonsky’s imagery leaves wide scope for the viewer’s perception. Her compositions stand in the tradition of Informel, which celebrated spontaneous gesture. They often arise from states of inner emotional condition. In her uncompromising insistence on subjectivity, Jablonsky transforms moments of happiness and mirth, unrest and fear, anger and sorrow into a battleground of color spots, lines, and graphic symbols. The astonishing thing: in the end, there is an order of harmonious balance.” (Marion Leske, art writer)

As a painter, draftsman, and lyricist, Hilla Jablonsky developed over decades a distinctive, powerful visual language. Her large-format, color‑intense compositions combine gestural dynamism with structural density and are characterized by a high sensitivity to rhythm, surface, and materiality. In addition to acrylic and pastel works, she experimented with collages, unusual materials, and performances.
