Richard P. Hartmann

Gallery owner / Editor / Author / Contemporary witness

Dr Richard P. Hartmann, born on 12 June 1935, is the only son of Karl Amadeus and Elisabeth Hartmann. As a Munich gallery owner and publisher he founded the „Richard P. Hartmann Bibliothek“; its first volume, the print portfolio „Epitaph Karl Amadeus Hartmann“, appeared in 1966 in memory of his father. With his recollections „Mein Vater und mein Onkel, der Maler“ he contributed a personal perspective to Hartmann research and supported the digital opening up of the compositional estate by the Bavarian State Library. For the Cybele production about Karl Amadeus Hartmann he gave an extensive interview about his family and its artistic circle.
