Camille Bryen Prints and Multiples
French, 1907-1977
Camille Bryen, pseudonym of Camille Briand, was born in Nantes on 17 September 1907.
He was a member of the Nouvelle École de Paris and belonged to the currents of lyrical abstraction and tachism. In the years 1925-1927, Camille Briand was part of the Nantes bohemian scene, using the pseudonym "Aristide", no doubt in allusion to his illustrious namesake, also of Nantes origin. He appeared on the cover of the Revue nantaise in April 1927, portrayed by Henri Bouyer, with the comment: "Type nantais, le Bohème Aristide".
In the years 1925-1927, Camille Briand was part of the Nantes bohemian scene, using the pseudonym "Aristide", no doubt in allusion to his illustrious namesake, also of Nantes origin. He appeared on the cover of the Revue nantaise in April 1927, portrayed by Henri Bouyer, with the comment: "Type nantais, le Bohème Aristide".In 1948, he organised the first exhibition of "lyrical abstraction" in which Hans Hartung, Wols, Gérard Schneider and Georges Mathieu took part. He then turned to engraving and, in 1949, oil painting. In 1950, he published Héréphile and then turned away from literature to devote himself entirely to painting and engraving.
From the 1950s onwards, Bryen regularly held solo exhibitions in France and abroad and took part in numerous salons, biennials and group exhibitions. In his work, always free of allusion, the discreet fields of colour, structured by fine sprays, create a poetic climate that ensures its originality.
He died in Paris on 8 May 1977.
As a tribute to Bryen, a stamp reproducing one of his works, Précambrien, was issued by the French Post Office on 14 September 1987 (value 5 francs).
Bryen was one of the painters included in the exhibition "L'envolée lyrique, Paris 1945-1956" presented in Paris at the Musée du Luxembourg in 2006.to

'Feu sous L'eau' (Fire Under Water) —Mid-century Modernism, Atelier 17
By Stanley William Hayter
Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
Stanley William Hayter, 'Feu sous L'eau (Fire Under Water)', color engraving, soft-ground etching and scorper with yellow silkscreen, 1955, edition 50 plus 10 artist proofs, Black & Moorhead 221. Signed, titled 'Fire Under Water', dated and annotated 'Essai' in pencil. Dedicated in the artist’s hand 'for Adja & Dove WH Bill 17–5–55' in the top margin. A superb, richly inked impression with fresh colors, on heavy, cream wove paper; wide margins (2 1/2 to 3 7/8 inches), in excellent condition. One of 10 artist’s proofs. Image size 10 3/16 x 7 inches; sheet size 18 1/8 x 12 1/4 inches. Matted to museum standards, unframed.
ABOUT THIS WORK
In 1950 Hayter returned to Paris and reopened Atelier 17. Works such as 'Fire Under Water' reveal newfound influences, such as that of the Ardèche area of southern France, where he acquired a house in 1951 and frequently visited. Hayter took great interest in the flowing Escoutay River, an experience that parallels the artist and co-director of Atelier 17 Krishna Reddy’s interest in depicting water. While some forms in this print evoke the natural world, the palette of contrasting tones of purple, yellow, black, and white reflects Hayter’s belief in using color intuitively to express emotions and evoke feelings. The sharp white relief lines from the paper and the textural effects realized through soft-ground etching operate in tandem with the sweeping curves and bold colors to give the composition a sense of vitality and dynamism.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) was a British painter and printmaker associated in the 1930s with Surrealism and from 1940 onward with Abstract Expressionism. Regarded as one of the most significant printmakers of the 20th century, Hayter founded the legendary Atelier 17 studio in Paris, now known as Atelier Contrepoint. Among the artists he is credited with influencing are Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, and Marc Chagall.
The hallmark of the workshop was its egalitarian structure, breaking sharply with the traditional French engraving studios by insisting on a cooperative approach to labor and technical discoveries. In 1929 Hayter was introduced to Surrealism by Yves Tanguy and André Masson, who, with other Surrealists, worked with Hayter at Atelier 17. The often violent imagery of Hayter’s Surrealist period was stimulated in part by his passionate response to the Spanish Civil War and the rise of Fascism. He organized portfolios of graphic works to raise funds for the Spanish cause, including Solidarité (Paris, 1938), a portfolio of seven prints, one of them by Picasso. Hayter frequently exhibited with the Surrealists during the 1930s but left the movement when Paul Eluard was expelled. Eluard’s poem Facile Proie (1939) was written in response to a set of Hayter’s engravings. Other writers with whom Hayter collaborated included Samuel Beckett and Georges Hugnet.
Hayter joined the exile of the Parisian avant-garde in 1939, moving with his second wife, the American sculptor Helen Phillips...
