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
Les voix de leurs œuvres, Bergman, Hartung et la critique
Pictorial creation and its free reception converge. Anna-Eva Bergman and Hans Hartung are major artists of the 20th century. Their work - of mineral beauty in the former and of calculated lyricism in the latter - is inseparable from the writings that supported, even shaped it. Around them gravitates a network of writers and friendships. Their perspectives construct an exegesis, open new fields of meaning, place forms within a history of ideas.
An invitation to rediscover figures of the art world who often remained invisible, particularly important women critics. Archives, texts, canvases offer a sensorial experience where seeing and reading call for a hybrid and joyful form of attention.
