124. Soulful Flowers [anii '20]

Over time, Hans Mattis-Teutsch will assume both the role of an artist as well as a theoretician and critic. The semiotics of his works are revealed through his compositional organization, brushwork, or the chromatic choices preferred by the artist. As a painter, sculptor, and graphic designer, he will collaborate with many publications and avant-garde movements, among which we mention the magazine "Contimporanul" (along with Victor Brauner, Max Hermann Maxy or Marcel Iancu), the Brasov magazine "Das Ziel" or the Berlin group "Der Sturm". The latter marked Mattis-Teutsch's departure from figurative art and his cautious, but sure approach towards abstract art. As a student of painter Arthur Coulin, he will learn the teachings of Jugendstil, a style that he will deepen once he leaves for Munich. While going through Berlin and Paris, he will assimilate the main characteristics of the artistic movements that will guide his entire work. He will approach the precepts of decorative arts at the School in Budapest and will gradually assimilate the ability to abstract. His abstract work will be deeply influenced by futurist ideology and will reveal him as an artist concerned with movement. Admirer of Picasso, Chagall or Franz Marc, inspired by Kandinsky's color symphonies, Hans Mattis-Teutsch will acquire a type of futurist dynamism in which his compositions burst with energy. As a theoretician, he will publish a volume titled "Kunstideolgie" in which he will address pictorial issues starting from passive art and reaching to active art, mentioning the plasticity of communication, visual semiotics, and non-verbal language.
