Signed, dated "1-1-73" and dedicated "A Colette très cordialement Hans Hartung", and on the reverse titled "KP1972-3" and dated "le 9. 3. 72" and inscribed "PHOT. J 73 D" and "30 x 30.2 cm". The work is included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman Foundation, Antibes, and is registered in the foundation's archive. // Hans Hartung's "KP1972-3" presents bold vertical gestural strokes in yellow, black, and blue acrylic on paper, demonstrating the artist's mastery of spontaneous mark-making within a controlled compositional framework. The sweeping lines converge from the upper portion of the square format, creating a dynamic interplay of chromatic energy and spatial depth. Dedicated to Colette and signed by the artist, this work reflects Hartung's position as a pioneer of gestural abstraction in Europe, predating American Abstract Expressionism with his commitment to the expressive autonomy of the painted line.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
