- While Europe and the United States competed to dominate the art scene after the Second World War, Mark Rothko and Hans Hartung were forging a discreet, friendly and fertile bond. This documentary invites us to discover this little known and fascinating complicity between two legends of contemporary painting. On one side, Rothko, "the most violent of American painters", according to his own words, on the other, Hartung, a brilliant experimenter and "boxer" in front of the canvas. From the moment they met in 1950 in Hans Hartung's modest studio, there was a healthy emulation between them, from which immense, metaphysical, and cataclysmic paintings were born. While Rothko offered advice and counsel to his European comrade, which would prove crucial in the development of the latter's work, Hartung did not spare his admiration for the New York painter of Latvian origin. It was in Antibes, in October 1970, that Hans Hartung learned of Mark Rothko's suicide. He built a villa-studio where he kept the secrets of their artistic exchanges and a spiritual communion that this film reveals today. This Rothko-Hartung encounter is an unprecedented and yet essential subject for understanding an important part of 20th century art.
