Hannes Grosse Art
German, b. 1932
Hannes Grosse studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1955 to 1959. He worked and lived in Paris, Mexico City, and New York, among others.
Today, he resides in Manson's Landing in Canada, British Columbia.
Hannes Grosse is considered one of the well-known German artists of the 1960s and 1970s.
He is a representative of Hard-Edge painting, known for his wavelike works. Additionally, he created three-dimensional wavelike objects/sculptures for landscapes and gardens.
"The means I use are color and form; color in progression, yet sharply separated, form reduced to a basic scheme, color and form moving towards each other, simultaneously forming a structure that unifies the image or object. Essential is the balance, combining the constructive with the organic, harmonizing color with form, making the composition a unity, maintaining movement yet anchoring it at a certain point." Hannes Grosse Born in 1932 in Berlin. Studied in Munich and Paris. First traveled to New York in 1964, followed by longer stays in 1966 and 1967. Received the Painting Prize of the Free State of Bavaria in 1969. Solo exhibitions since 1964 in Munich, Zurich, Schwenningen, Bad Godesberg, Frankfurt, and recently in the series '14 x 14' at the State Art Hall, Baden-Baden, and the Forum Galerie van de Loo, Munich, 1969. Participated in exhibitions of the German Artists' Association and the 6th Biennale in San Marino, and 'Alternative Attuali', L'Aquila. Lives in Oberammergau. Bibliographical Note: Jürgen Claus Hannes Grosse, Leaflet of Galerie Nickel, Bad Godesberg, 1968. Each statement should be the conclusion of numerous experiences, each image a carrier of a complex reality. The artistic statement, whatever form it may take today, requires more than just a spontaneous impulse, a gesture; it also requires more than just construction, movement, or idea. The artistic product is the result of our relationships with realities, a combination of technical and mental data transforming into an optical phenomenon. For every artist, there are overarching concepts that determine the design and lead to a specific direction. As a result of these concepts, the image becomes a composition that still forms a unity. The image or object should contain the whole in detail—it is the fixation of a point within a movable, infinite structure.to

Helen Frankenthaler, A Brief Biography
Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011), whose career spanned six decades, has long been recognized as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. She was eminent among the second generation of postwar American abstract painters and is widely credited for playing a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting. Through her invention of the soak-stain technique, she expanded the possibilities of abstract painting, while at times referencing figuration and landscape in unique ways. She produced a body of work whose impact on contemporary art has been profound and continues to grow.
Frankenthaler was born on December 12, 1928, and raised in New York City. She attended the Dalton School, where she received her earliest art instruction from Rufino Tamayo. In 1949 she graduated from Bennington College, Vermont, where she was a student of Paul Feeley. She later studied briefly with Hans Hofmann.
Frankenthaler’s professional exhibition career began in 1950, when Adolph Gottlieb selected her painting Beach (1950) for inclusion in the exhibition titled Fifteen Unknowns: Selected by Artists of the Kootz Gallery. Her first solo exhibition was presented in 1951, at New York’s Tibor de Nagy Gallery, and that year she was also included in the landmark exhibition 9th St. Exhibition of Paintings and Sculpture.
In 1952 Frankenthaler created Mountains and Sea, a breakthrough painting of American abstraction for which she poured thinned paint directly onto raw, unprimed canvas laid on the studio floor, working from all sides to create floating fields of translucent color. Mountains and Sea was immediately influential for the artists who formed the Color Field school of painting, notable among them Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland.
As early as 1959, Frankenthaler began to be a regular presence in major international exhibitions. She won first prize at the Premiere Biennale de Paris that year, and in 1966 she represented the United States in the 33rd Venice Biennale, alongside Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jules Olitski. She had her first major museum exhibition in 1960, at New York’s Jewish Museum, and her second, in 1969, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, followed by an international tour.
Frankenthaler experimented tirelessly throughout her long career. In addition to producing unique paintings on canvas and paper, she worked in a wide range of media, including ceramics, sculpture, tapestry, and especially printmaking. Hers was a significant voice in the mid-century “print renaissance” among American abstract painters, and she is particularly renowned for her woodcuts. She continued working productively through the opening years of this century.
Frankenthaler’s distinguished, prolific career has been the subject of numerous monographic museum exhibitions. The Jewish Museum and Whitney Museum shows were succeeded by a major retrospective initiated by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth that traveled to The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Detroit Institute of Arts, MI (1989); and those devoted to works on paper and prints organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (1993), among others.
Select recent important exhibitions have included Painted on 21st Street: Helen Frankenthaler from 1950 to 1959 (Gagosian, NY, 2013); Making Painting: Helen Frankenthaler and JMW Turner (Turner Contemporary, Margate, UK, 2014); Giving Up One’s Mark: Helen Frankenthaler in the 1960s and 1970s (Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY, 2014–15); Pretty Raw: After and Around Helen Frankenthaler (Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, 2015); As in Nature: Helen Frankenthaler, Paintings and No Rules: Helen Frankenthaler Woodcuts...
