BERNHARD HARTMANN
SUMPTUOUS TUSCANY

by Bernhard Hartmann
Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. And when Bernhard Hartmann lingers there with his camera, the result is breathtaking! “My camera represents a fascinating tool for seeing the world in a different way, far from my daily routine,” the photographer analyses. “I can create a world full of beauty and create in a more technical way what a painter is able to do with paintbrush and palette.” Master of the art of composition, Bernard Hartmann causes the trees and hills to dance with various hues and moods, depending on the time of day. With talent and poetry.

BERNHARD HARTMANN
Born in Frankfurt in 1955, Bernhard Hartmann began his artistic career at the age of 18 as a press photographer for a German newspaper. Selftaught, he studied art and became a landscape photographer after discovering this medium with the aid of his parents' Polaroid. He creates dramatic and cinemascopic images that are often compared to the Romantic paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, but also to the dramatic natural scenes by English painter William Turner. He prefers to photograph places where the arts are practised and expressed and thus presents series on operas, theatres, or European manors. A lawyer in Munich, Bernard Hartmann now lives near Lake Starnberg in the Bavarian Alps. His works belong to numerous private collections and have been shown in the United States, Spain, Italy, and Germany. He was elected "Photographer of the Year" by a Swiss magazine and won the "American Black and White Photo Awards" as well as the "Panoramic Epson Award".
