THE INVISIBLE CHORD. HANS HARTUNG AND THE MUSIC

Bringing together nearly 80 paintings, documents and work tools, the exhibition explores the central role of sound in the visual and existential universe of Hans Hartung, a talented dancer and pianist in his youth and obsessive devotee of music. From Bach to Pink Floyd via composers like Lili Boulanger, a landscape of energies, movement and resonance permeates his entire oeuvre. His paintings are imbued with a sonic climate of vocal or instrumental rhythms, harmonies and explosions, which, though silent, secrete melodic flows from their very fibres.
