Hans Platschek

Hans Platschek was a German artist, art critic and writer.

Hans Platschek gained recognition as an artist of Tachism or Informel. But by the time the abstract, automatic art of Informel had gained international recognition, he had already shown an interest in the new figuration. He was fiercely critical of pop art as 'consumer art'.

Placzek's essays, which only on the surface appear to be polemical, made him a household name among the art interested public outside Germany from the 1960s onwards. Even today many connoisseurs consider his texts to be of great freshness and clarity.
