Fondation Hartung-Bergman
Born in 1994, the Hartung-Bergman Foundation is the result of the lives and wishes of two very important painters of the 20th century: Hans Hartung (1904-1989) and Anna-Eva Bergman (1909-1987). Very few institutions in France and abroad have managed to preserve in their unity spaces for pictorial creations, the creations themselves, and the memory of a daily life on the same spot. Thanks to Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman, such an opportunity is possible. It allows for a truly immersive experience in the creative process. This process is conducted, in Bergman’s case as in Hartung’s, by a quest for the absolute, based on the perfect mastery of simple and essential elements: rhythms, colours, materials, lights.

Programme
Paysages intérieurs
The exhibition features works by Anna-Eva Bergman, Hans Hartung, Vera Molnár, Terry Haass and Carl Nesjar. Interior landscapes here refers to the mediated image that results from the ‘feeling’ of nature, or of its memory. It is also the interiority of this nature, i.e. its physical, conceptual and poetic structure, its atomic fibre. These two approaches can find various means of expression, such as the simplification of motifs, the choice of framing, or gesturality. A revelation through abstraction.
