Georges Dussau Art

French, b. 1947
Painter and engraver Georges Dussau was born in 1947 in Chalon sur Saône. He now divides his time and work between Mellecey (Saône-et-Loire) and Mougins (Alpes-Maritimes). Georges Dussau studied art at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. He began his career as a painter in 1969, and had his first solo exhibition at the Chalon-sur-Saône town hall gallery in 1971. The young man dreamed of being an artist, and this dream came true in the early 70s when he went to Paris to present his work, and was quickly spotted for his talent and style. It was with publisher and gallery owner Jacqueline de Champvallins that he earned his letters of nobility. For over 50 years now, an artist of abstract expression, he has concentrated on the techniques of oil painting, silk-screening, engraving and mixed media. His works are characterized by a range of vibrant colors and an expressive use of color and form.Georges Dussau combines fluid lines and fragmented geometric forms. In his long career, the artist has exhibited his work in over a hundred shows worldwide. His work has been exhibited in many cities, including Paris, Tokyo, New York and Hong Kong. He has also participated regularly in international contemporary art fairs (Düsseldorf, Frankfurt ....). His works are included in the permanent collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.A tireless worker and perpetual creator, Georges Dussau transports us into a poetic universe all his own. "I've spent my life having fun in my studio with serious work," he writes. In the field of engraving alone, he has produced some 680 original works in just over 50 years! A prolific and multifaceted artist, he wrote: "The greatest joy is to make a living from your passion."

'Expansion' — Modernist Abstraction, Atelier 17
By Stanley William Hayter
Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
Stanley William Hayter, 'Expansion', color etching and soft-ground, 1970, edition 100, Black & Moorhead 334. Signed, titled, dated, and numbered '23/50' in pencil. A superb, richly inked impression with fresh, vivid colors on heavy off-white wove paper; the full sheet with margins (2 to 2 1/2 inches), in excellent condition. Matted to museum standards, unframed. Image size 17 1/8 x 19 7/16 inches (435 x 494 mm); sheet size 22 x 23 1/2 inches (559 x 597 mm). This innovative graphic work was created in the first state using a plate covered with a plastic sheet; the sheet was cut, and the soft-ground texture was added. In the second state, the plate was covered again, and the sheet cut then etched with a deep bite, and a soft ground texture was added. Printed by Hector Saunier: intaglio fluorescent orange, hard roller phthalo green, soft roller transparent yellow. Note: the online image cannot accurately convey the vibrancy of the printed fluorescent orange. 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 in this way 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...
