Hans Hartung was one of the twentieth century's greatest artists. His works mark him out as an outstanding practitioner of abstract painting, but he was also a highly perceptive commentator on a wide variety of artists and artistic styles. In this volume, the distinguished art historian Thomas Schlesser--currently the Director of the Hartung-Bergman Foundation--gathers together Hartung's most illuminating remarks on his predecessors and contemporaries, as well as on the creative process more generally. Hans Hartung in His Own Words will prove an indispensable companion to a major figure in the cultural life of the last century.
