Hartmut Ludwig Hahn (born August 12, 1971 in Biberach an der Riß) is a German contemporary visual artist.

Life
Hartmut Hahn trained as an print template maker in Stuttgart from 1988 to 1991. After gaining his technical college entrance qualification, he studied media art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig from 1995 to 2000 (together with Matthias Weischer, Tom Fabritius, David Schnell and Christoph Ruckhäberle, who are considered part of the New Leipzig School). Hahn also completed a master class with Joachim Jansong in Leipzig. In addition to his residence in Biberach, he lived and worked in Berlin from 2008 to 2014, where he significantly developed his style.

Art
Originally coming from a painting background, Hahn discovered video art in the early 1990s. He then decided to study media art.

Already during this time, he found his way back to his origins, painting in oil on canvas. His main role models were Edward Hopper, who came from Realism, and Caspar David Friedrich, who came from Romanticism.

From this inspiration, Hahn developed his "Romantic Realism" style, in which he depicted everyday motifs from unusual angles and painted them with strong gradients, softening them. In this way, Hahn subtly evokes repressed shortcomings.
