At the time when Stanley William Hayter made this print, screenprint was used relatively rarely for artistic purposes.Description
Stanley William Hayter is recognized within the history of printmaking as among the most innovative and experimental practitioners of intaglio techniques. After moving to New York from Paris in 1939, he developed a style influenced by Surrealism which proliferated at the time among New York School painters. This print features abstracted layers of color and line and was the first in which the artist used screenprint. This technique rarely appeared alongside etching and engraving, and Hayter used the contrast between the two media to dramatic effect.- ?-1969(Kennedy Gallery, New York)1969(Collector's Gallery exhibition and sale, McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX, November 7 - December 24, 1969, sold to Charles "Tom" Wright, San Antonio, TX)1969-2018Charles "Tom" Wright [1933-2018], San Antonio, TX2019-2020Peter Leicht and Derrick Strobl, Columbus, OH, given to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH2020-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
