About the Item

Heinz Henghes - Nude Etching - Numbered 6/10 - Signed and Dated 1970 - Image Size 25 x 20 cm Heinz Henghes was born in Hamburg in 1906. Died in 1975 . At an early age he went to America where he befriended artists and poets. Isamu Noguchi was an early influence on Henghes, causing him to experiment in sculpture. From America Henghes went at the invitation of Ezra Pound to Rapallo in Italy where his love of working with Carrara marble developed. Henghes moved briefly to Switzerland, and then on to England in 1937. During the war he was in Australia for a period. On his return to England he wrote on current affairs for the BBC. Henghes taught at the Royal College of Art under Frank Dobson and had various international exhibitions. In 1954 Henghes moved to the south of France where he worked for a number of years returning to England to take up the post of Head of Fine Art at Winchester School of Art. On his retirement Henghes returned to France where he died in 1975. Throughout his working life Heinz Henghes came into contact with Artists from diverse 'schools'. Early contacts were with the Surrealists including Man Ray and Ernst. When in Italy for a time Henghes enjoyed the patronage of Ezra Pound. Pound was also patron to other Artists including Gaudia Brezka. During this time Henghes befriended the Princess di San Faustino (Kay Sage), and later introduced her to her second husband Yves Tanguy. When in England Henghes naturally came into contact with many of the leading Artists of the day. Despite many friendships in the art world, no working associations developed which might have tempted Henghes to cast his lot in with a particular 'school' of art. Henghes moved with the times, and although his work is always distinctive his materials and approach changed through the decades.

He studied at the Cerce Artistic de Sant Lluc and had his first solo show in 1918 at the Galeries Dalmau, where his work was ridiculed and defaced. Inspired by Fauve and Cubist exhibitions in Barcelona and abroad, Miro was drawn towards the arts community that was gathering in Montparnasse and moved to Paris in 1920, but continued to spend his Summers in his native Catalonia. In Paris, under the influence of poets and writers, he developed his unique style: organic forms and flattened picture-planes drawn with a sharp line. Generally thought of as a Surrealist because of his interest in automatism and the use of sexual symbols, Miro’s style...
