The English painter and printmaker, S.W. Hayter, was born in London in 1901 and died in Paris in 1988. He is known worldwide as the founder of the experimental print workshop, Atelier 17, frequented by many of the great artists of the 20th century including Picasso, Miro, Dali, Arp, Calder, Chagall and Tanguy etc. Hayter's own prints are well known but until today there has been no publication devoted only to his paintings of which many are in private and public collections and many museums (Paris, London, New York, Washington and San Francisco). This publication will be the first to follow the development of Hayter's paintings with over 100 reproductions and an emphasis on the 1930s surrealist period and 1940s abstract expressionism. The book will contain a preface by the French professor of art and specialist on surrealism, Michel Remy. There will also be previously published texts by Bryan Robertson, critic and director of the Whitechapel Gallery, London, in the 1950s and by the poet David Gascoyne and the artist, writer and collector Roland Penrose plus photos of Hayter and relevant documents. Hayter was a member of the surrealist group from 1933 to 1938 and he regularly exhibited alongside Dali, Duchamp, Ernst, Chirico, Miro, Magritte, and Tanguy notably at Breton's Gravida Gallery. Breton possessed two paintings by Hayter. Hayter was close to Andre Masson and Paul Eluard with whom he collaborated on an album of prints that contained a poem of Eluard dedicated to Hayter. Hayter spent the war years in New York. He established Atelier 17 there, whilst the younger American artists such as Rothko, Pollock, Motherwell, de Kooning, Gottlieb worked with the more established European exiles. Robert Coates, the influential art critic of The Yorker in the 1940s considered Hayter one of the main initiators of the Abstract Expressionist movement. He returned to Paris in 1950 and continued to paint as his style evolved constantly through tachisme, wave movement and to the strong, glowing colours of his latter period. The Oxford Dictionary of Art's citation on Hayter states "that no other British artist had such an international influence".

The inventor of the technique of simultaneous colour printing, revolutionary in its own right, Stanley William Hayter (1901-88) was the most influential printmaker of the twentieth century. The founder of Atelier 17 in Paris, he had contact with all the major Cubist, Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist painters of the day - an essential aspect to his life that shaped his work in a diversity of fascinating ways. This definitive catalogue, begun under Hayter's own direction, gives full information on some 450 original prints, while spanning the artist's oeuvre as a whole with its inclusion of almost 500 illustrations. In offering such an exhaustive survey of his life's achievement, and in following the highly personal outlook of the artist's widow, this tome has established itself as an important reference work for all those concerned with twentieth-century art and printmaking. It confirms Hayter's stature as a great artist, teacher and technical innovator.

chemist engraver painter printmaker
Stanley William Hayter was born on December 27, 1901 in London.
He received a degree in chemistry from King's College, London University.
He spent the years from 1922 to 1925 in Persia as an oil chemist and geologist, painting in his spare time.
Atelier Dix-sept included at one time or another Pablo Picasso, Vasily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Miro, Yves Tanguy, and Alexander Calder.
Hayter remained in Paris (except for a period in Spain in 1937, when he began to work with camouflage) until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
By 1940 he had arrived in New York; there Atelier Dix-sept was reestablished at the New School for Social Research, where Hayter taught.
The workshop became a focal meeting point for French and American artists and a spur to the new movement known as abstract expressionism.
Hayter is best known as an engraver, his important prints including the Apocalypse (six plates, 1932); Viol de Lucrece (1934); Battle (1936); Tarantelle (1943); Amazon (1945); and Cinq Personnages (1946).
Mainly interested in line engraving, Hayter worked with textures, relief, combinations of engraving with silk screen, and impressions on plaster.
