About the Item

Stanley William Hayter Big Horse (Black & Moorhead 46), 1932 Engraving & Drypoint on antique white Canson Vidalon laid paper affixed to original matting Hand signed, numbered 8/30 and dated 1932 by the artist on the lower front Unframed and affixed to original matting (ready to be re-framed) Stanley H.W. Hayter was one of the most important and influential printmakers of the 20th century. This is one of the most coveted early Hayter etchings, done in Paris before World War II, in a small edition of only 30, many of which have been lost. In the foreword to the catalogue that accompanied an early Hayter print retrospective, Bryan Robertson, former director of London's Whitechapel Gallery wrote: "Hayter, working always with maximum flexibility in painting, drawing, engraving and collage, has invented some of the most central and significant images of this century before most of the other artists of his generation. He is an originator, and it is a sign of this artist's vitality and youthfulness that he has never bothered to put on the mantle of elder statesman which he has an indisputable right to wear....." Hayter founded the legendary Atelier 17 Studio in Paris, later known as Atelier Contrepoint, where the present work was created. Hayter's studio would relocate to New York during the war. Artists like Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Dorothy Dehner, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Yves Tanguy, Marc Chagall Jacques Lipchitz, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miro, Robert Motherwell and Louise Nevelson all passed through Hayter's (whom they affectionately called "Bill") studio, and his work has been recognized in museums around the world such as the Tate Gallery in London. Hayter was associated with the Surrealists in the 1930s and the Abstract Expressionists after his move to New York in 1940. This work is also fully referenced in the catalogue raisonne of Hayter's prints. (Black & Moorhead, Plate 46). It has been removed from the original vintage frame, and is affixed to the original matting, so it is ready to be re-framed. Measurements: Matting: 18.5 x 15.5 inches Print: 12 x 9.6 inches The work is in very good, stable vintage condition. It is affixed to the original matting and is ready to be re-framed
