"... Hans Hartung travaillait la nuit. Il disait : J'aime la nuit. Je suis un homme de la nuit. Quand l'atelier est éclairé et que, dehors, il y a la nuit, cette pièce devient comme une bulle où je m'enferme. Dans l'isolement, je peux penser plus fort, faire quelque chose sur la toile. ... Quand il fait jour, je contrôle ce que je fais. ...". (Pierre Descargues, L'art est vivant, 2001).
