// L-19 by Hans Hartung, a lithograph from 1974, embodies the artist's masterful approach to abstract expressionism through gestural mark-making. This piece presents dynamic, overlapping black brushstrokes across a neutral background, creating a composition that feels both rhythmic and intense. Hartung’s use of bold, sweeping lines suggests movement and energy, reflecting his interest in the spontaneity and immediacy of the creative process. The contrasts in opacity within the strokes add depth, allowing certain areas to appear layered while others remain sheer. L-19 encapsulates Hartung’s exploration of abstraction through raw, expressive gestures, a hallmark of his work during this period.

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.
