Research on Hartung in recent decades has repeatedly pointed ou t that these large sweeps of deep black paint are\, however\, merely a fei nt used by the artist: the painter is staging a physical gesture\, leading viewers to believe that meaningful and physical actions have inscribed th emselves in his paintings. In the postwar period\, Hartung was faced with the challenges of a non-normative body\, having lost a leg in World War II . The physical gesture of his painting and the reality of his body are ini tially antithetical to each other in his 1950s oeuvre. Between these two t ense poles\, the lecture will trace how Hans Hartung's painting reveals a corporeality that\, on the one hand\, can be reconstructed through a ficti tious\, bodily gesture and\, on the other hand\, works off a bodily norm o f gestural painting of the 1950s.\n\nDominik Eckel studied art history\, R omance languages and literature\, and German studies in Frankfurt am Main and Montpellier\, graduating in 2017 with a thesis on the photography of H ans Hartung. After his studies\, he worked as a research assistant at DFK Paris. Subsequently\, he received the Sonja&Reinhard Ernst Stiftung schola rship for his PhD project from June 2019\, awarded by the Research Center Informal Art at the University of Bonn. His PhD project investigates the c orporeal and choreographic aspects of postwar gestural-abstract painting a nd the interrelationships of networks of gestural abstraction in New York\ , Ōsaka\, Paris\, Frankfurt am Main\, and the Rhine-Ruhr area.\n\nTicket i ncluded in the entrance fee. Please take notice of our current safety guid elines.\n\nThe lecture is in German. It will be recorded and provided on Y ouTube afterwards. The event is part of a series in cooperation with the A rt History Department at the University of Siegen and the Art History Inst itute at the University of Cologne.\n DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20220915T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20220915T203000 SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:MGKSiegen - Hans Hartung\, The physical gesture and the body norm L ecture with Dominik Eckel TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
