HANS HARTUNG Stormcloud, 1985

This reproduction of Stormcloud by Hans Hartung was originally created as an overrun of a design meant to be used as a book slipcover. The lower portion of the poster remains blank, as the image only covers half the space. This unusual design feature reflects its intended purpose for the slipcover of a book that was printed in 1985 by Maeght and sold at their Rue du Bac stores in Paris. Due to the limited production of both the book and the related posters, only a few copies are known to exist, making them rare collector's items.

Hartung, a prominent figure in the abstract art movement, was known for his expressive and dynamic works. This particular reproduction retains the essence of his powerful, gestural strokes, even within its unconventional layout as a slipcover design.
