Anna-Eva Bergman & Hans Hartung: And We’ll Never Be Parted
Kunsthalle Praha
The intertwined lives of Anna-Eva Bergman (1909-1987) and Hans Hartung (1904-1989) are unique in the history of twentieth century artist couples. Their careers covered a first meeting in 1920s Paris, a separation in 1937, the Second World War, and a final reunion in 1952. Despite their closeness they remained totally singular in their styles, constantly sharpening each other’s artistic approaches.
Czech-American artist duo Kristyna and Marek Milde have long explored the language of the everyday to address the complex relationship between humans and the environment. The Call of the Forest presents a dynamic selection of new, ongoing, and earlier works that examine the dichotomies of nature and culture, highlighting a unique artistic approach that they have developed over more than a decade of work.
