About the Item

If you compare Hans Franta’s earliest works – from around 1911 to 1920 – with his later work from the years after the Second World War, the fact becomes obvious that you are dealing with an artist personality, which one has never left an artistic position once taken. Regardless of the current art movements and stylistic changes that were characteristic of the first half of our century. Hans Franta’s artistic conception was shaped by his very personal view of reality, as well as by his long stay in Siberia. Franta did not neglect the environment of contemporary art creation, so that relationships to Art Nouveau and Impressionism can be felt, but these have not had any lasting influence on the consistent further development and formulation of his personal artistic concerns. Franta’s thematic focuses are particularly impressive in his preferred pastel technique, as well as in the drawing. On the one hand, it is his almost passionate turn to landscape, which he makes visible in its archaic structures. On the other hand, his interest in architecture, which in his work he reduces to the essential structural elements of surface, line, light and shadow and thus gives it the character of that which is constant over time. In his landscapes, however, Franta never sees himself as a cool, distant observer. Through the sovereign use of color, he achieves a condensation of mood values ​​and thus proves himself to be a committed observer, whose work is characterized not only by aesthetic interest but also by personal experience and intense sympathy.
