Étienne Hajdu - Original Stamp Etching
Dimensions: 32 x 24 cm
Revue Art de France
Étienne Hajdú was born István Hajdú on August12, 1907, in Romanian Transylvania. Under the encouragement of his Hungarian parents, Hajdú pursued his interests in carving and art, and as a teenager, he trained at a Budapest vocational school in preparation for work in the timber industry. In 1926 his passion and talent for woodwork led to a short period of study in 1926 at Vienna's Kunstgewerbeschule des österreichischen Museums für Kunst und Industrie followed in 1927 by his relocation to Paris. There he studied sculpture at the bastions of classical art: the studio of Emile-Antoine Bourdelle at the Académie de la grande chaumière (1927); École des arts décoratifs (1928); and École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (1928). By 1930, inspired by an exhibition of Fernand Léger's modernist abstractions, Hajdú abandoned his formal education and instead engaged in the world of his avant-garde contemporaries, especially painters Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and Arpad Szenès, with whom he had his gallery debut in 1939 at the Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Paris.
Hajdú obtained French citizenship in 1930 and served in the army from 1931 to 1932, and again from 1939 to 1940. Between tours, he traveled for study: classical sculpture in Crete and Greece, Piet Mondrian's paintings in the Netherlands, and the Romanesque sculpture and structures within the French countryside. Each experience had an indelible effect on Hajdú's art, which further evolved during his 1940–44 stint as a stonecutter in a Pyrenean marble factory. His exploration of different stones—onyx, marble, and slate—had a formative effect, and in 1944 he produced his first marble sculptures. Often highly polished to a uniform, undulating sheen, Hajdú's sculpture was expressionist in theme, derived from the human form abstracted into volumetric outlines and pseudo-geometric shapes that cleave distinctively into their surrounding space. Postwar advances in machinery and technology led to experimentation in aluminum, copper, and bronze, along with welding, hammering, and riveting. Modeling metal with his characteristic sinuous contours, he created freestanding sculptures and large reliefs that echo the body within their abstract, almost sublime, compositions.
Hajdú had his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Paris (1946), and his sculptures were first exhibited through the Salon de Mai, Paris (1947). The salon was an informal group of Parisian artists who celebrated the avant-garde and exhibited Hajdú's work again in 1950 in both Paris and Tokyo, and throughout the 1950s and 1960s in Paris. Hajdú's sculpture was introduced to American audiences through The New Decade: 22 European Painters and Sculptors, Museum of Modern Art, New York (1955). His sculptures also were exhibited alongside line drawings in Sculptures and Drawings from7 Sculptors, Guggenheim Museum, and he received his New York gallery debut at M. Knoedler & Company (both 1958). The Musée des beaux-arts, Dijon, France, mounted a retrospective, which traveled to the Műcsarnok, Budapest (1978), and Muzeul Naţional de Artă al Romniei, Bucharest (1979). In 1969, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Hajdú the Grand Prix National de Sculpture. Hajdú died on March 24, 1996, in Bagneux, France.

Jean Miotte, 1926 - 2016
Miotte came of artistic age in the decade after World War II when non-figurative gestural abstraction was emerging on both sides of the Atlantic as the contemporary artistic language. The term, "L'Art Informel," was coined by the French critic, Michel Tapi, to connote "without form." The negation of traditional form, a radical break from established notions of order and composition, was particularly suited to a cultural environment born out of the circumstances of post war Europe where abuse of morals and fascist ideology had led to such horror and destruction.
While Informel is often regarded as the European equivalent of Abstract Expressionism, it is distinguished from its American counterpart, by a loss of faith in progress and the collective possibilities of an avant garde. Rather the artists who came to be grouped as Informel, Jean Miotte, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Emil Schumacher...
