	Duane Hanson
		From 1953 to 1961 Duane Hanson lived in Munich and Bremerhaven; during this time he met the German sculptor George Grygo, whose preferred materials – polyester resin and fibreglass – were perfectly suited to his own work.
		Using these very modern, «unartistic» materials Hanson started to make life-size, meticulously accurate figures, cast in their entirety from living models – although he was often accused of producing sculptures that were no more than likenesses of reality.
		Duane Hanson’s art strives to approach as closely as possible to Nature, with bodily movements that look like split-second photographic images and poses that vividly suggest a figure lost in thought – and above all suggest the ordinary reality of everyday life in the United States.

	Duane Hanson
		Duane Hanson (Jan. 17, 1925-Jan. 6, 1996) moved to Florida in 1965 and became a permanent resident of Broward County and the City of Davie in 1973 where he lived until his death in 1996.
		Hanson was very protective of his creative output and destroyed many early works because they were not representative of his mature style.
		Hanson's very personal notes to himself furnish an intimate look into the philosophy behind his creative genius, and the objects in the exhibition provide the viewing public with a rare opportunity to experience actual, everyday items used by one of the major American artists of the 20th century.

	Duane Hanson Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Hanson's Abortion (1966) was inspired by the horrors of a backroom procedure; Accident (1967) showed a motorcycle crash; and Race Riot (1969-1971) included among its seven figures a white policeman terrorizing a African American man as well as a African American rioter attacking the policeman.
		Hanson, as is typical, searched for the right model, so that the figure is both distinctive but "average." This work, Hardhat (1970), and Delivery Man (1980) are especially good examples of Hanson's sympathy with workers, whose loss of independence to societal and governmental pressures is captured in their faces, postures, and clothing.
		In addition to receiving numerous awards, Duane Hanson was honored with the proclamation of Duane Hanson day, by Broward County Florida in 1987, and in 1992 he was inducted into the Florida Hall of Fame.

	Duane Hanson
		Duane Hanson’s works on show in Zurich are seen «in dialogue» with pictures and sculptures by contemporaries of his in the Kunsthaus’s own collection – Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.
		But there is also a major difference in the approach of the two artists: Warhol’s subject matter was the reality of media reports, whereas Duane Hanson sought – by recreating the horror of the moment – to arouse the sympathy of the anonymous viewer for a similarly anonymous, fellow human being.
		When Hanson died in 1996 from cancer (induced by his contact with highly toxic substances), the dot-com bubble had not yet burst and the gene debate was in full flow.

	Art Photography - Duane Hanson
		A Minnesota native, Hanson did most of his work in Florida, gradually settling on his technique - casting live people with fiberglass resins and auto body filler, and later working in painted cast bronze - and his bleak, if humorous, vision of society.
		By 1990, though, Hanson was recognized as a leader among a group of artists, including Edward Kienholz and George Segal, who used lifelike representations of the human figure in their work.
		Hanson died in 1996, the victim of cancer brought on by the dangerous resins with which he worked.
