Stanley William Hayter
Curtain

About the Item

Curtain, 1975, by Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) Oil on canvas 25 x 19 inches unframed (63.5 x 48.26 cm) 26 ¼ x 20 ⅜ inches framed (66.675 x 51.753 cm) Signed and dated on bottom left Provenance: Private collection, France Description: Stanley William Hayter was enamored with French Surrealism and its study of the subconscious; consequently, he used his art as a vehicle for a similar type of investigation. In this acrylic painting, Hayter composes an interlocked composition of elongated parallelograms that combine to form long strands of colors that segment the canvas. These strands, however, are not continuous. The illusion of this continuity is created using Gestalt principles, which Hayter implements to confront the viewer with their own unconscious interest in consolidating shapes and forms.

  • Dark Image
    By Will Barnet
    Located in New York, NY
    Dark Image, 1960 by Will Barnet (1911-2012) Oil on canvas 53 x 30 ½ inches unframed (134.62 x 77.47 cm) 55 ½ x 32 ⅞ inches framed (140.979 x 96.2152 cm) Signed and dated on top right on the reverse Description: This abstract oil painting by Will Barnet uses minute gradations in value to achieve a work that presents a contextual understanding of color. Upon first inspection, it looks as if Barnet has created a completely black canvas with some hints at forms in the darkness; however, upon a closer look, the canvas is, in fact, not black, but instead comprised of varied shades of dark, muted blues, grays, and purples. Barnet presents us with an illusion of vision, asking the viewer to question his perspective and understanding of color interplay. At the beginning of his career, Will Barnet was known for his figural depictions of domestic scenes. But, as he continued to stylistically develop, Barnet arrived at abstract geometric paintings far removed from his original career. A part of the Indian Space...
