BEAUTIFUL GOUACHE CIRCA50 25X37cm.
Jerzy Brodnicki, Georges Van Haardt was in Poznan (Poland) in 1907. With a degree in law and a doctorate in philosophy, he was a magistrate between 1933 and 1939.
In 1950, Georges Van Haardt moved to Paris. The artist indifferently creates two quite different kinds of works: the black ones, which are collages, and the colored ones (our work) which are also non-figurative, where colors are articulated around irregular bundles of black scratches. The collages are made flat. Georges Van Haardt tears dark papers, most often black, into cavernous curtains, into marine monstrosities, the white indicating the field. Always immersed in a strange and mysterious world, his art is uncompromising, in a palette close to the Kandinsky of the 10s. The artist's last Parisian exhibitions, posthumous exhibitions, will be held at the Galerie Jacques Barbier (1985) and at the Polish Library (2009 and 2014). Georges Van Haardt died in Paris in 1980.
