Further details
Historien, critique d’art et réalisateur, Gaston Diehl fut tout au long de sa vie au cœur de la création artistique. Il fonda le Mouvement des Amis de l’art en 1944 dont le but fut la diffusion de la scène contemporaine au moyen d’écrits, de publications et de projections de films. Il fit rapidement la connaissance d’Alain Resnais et Madeleine Rousseau qui furent les protagonistes du premier film dédié à Hans Hartung. Diehl fréquenta la Galerie de France, y écrivit certaines préfaces d’expositions et y rencontra un grand nombre d’artistes dont Hartung. Fondateur du Salon de Mai, il aida à la promotion d'une nouvelle génération d’artistes. Acquis directement auprès de l’artiste peu de temps après sa nomination par André Malraux comme directeur du Bureau des Expositions de l’Action Artistique au Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, T1967-H16 fut un beau témoignage de son admiration et son engagement envers l’art abstrait. Diehl ne cessa de promouvoir l'art abstrait sans jamais l’opposer frontalement à ceux qui lui ouvrirent la voie : Matisse, Picasso ou encore Gauguin.
Historian, art critic and filmmaker, Gaston Diehl has been at the heart of the artistic creation during his lifetime. He founded the Mouvement des Amis de l’art in 1944 which aimed to disseminate the contemporary art scene through writings, publications and film screenings. He early met Alain Resnais and Madeleine Rousseau who were the protagonists of the first film dedicated to Hans Hartung. Diehl attended the Galerie de France, for which he wrote few exhibition prefaces and met a large number of artists including Hartung. Founder of the Salon de Mai, he helped to promote a new generation of artists. He acquired T1967-H16, directly from the artist shortly after being nominated by André Malraux as Office Director of Exhibitions of the Artistic Action at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This artwork is a beautiful testimony of his admiration and his commitment to the abstract art. Diehl never stopped promoting it and never opposed it directly to those who paved the way: Matisse, Picasso or Gauguin.
