Henri Hayden

Henri Hayden, born Henryk Hayden (December 24, 1883 – May 12, 1970), was a Polish painter. Born in Warsaw, Hayden lived and worked in Paris.[1] Hayden studied engineering at the Warsaw Polytechnic from 1902–5, while simultaneously pursuing studies at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts and eventually moved to France in 1907.[1]

Fille assise au bouquet de fleurs, 1919

In Paris, he became acquainted with the artists associated with the Ecole de Paris and later raised to prominence as a Cubist painter. Hayden said that "I only absorbed Cubism in 1915, after having swallowed and digested all of French painting in a few years. This rapid absorption led me, in a spirit of creative synthesis, without even realising, to Picasso and Braque's experimentation at the time."[2] His first exhibition took place at the Galerie Druet in 1911.[1] One of Hayden's first dealers was Leonce Rosenberg,[1] who organised an exhibition of his works in 1919.[2]

Collections

Hayden's works are held in several major museum collections worldwide, including the Tate Modern in London, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Centre Pompidou in Paris.

gollark: Is it? I think people aren't really sure.
gollark: Public transport in the city I'm near got cut down a lot, but is still running. Which means people are packed more densely into the subway carriages. Which is probably *worse* in terms of spreading disease.
gollark: <@178552839721844736> I've heard different things. Fighting is a learned skill like anything else, and having actual practice through MMA and whatnot is almost certainly better than "I'll just poke them in a vulnerable part" or something.
gollark: So apparently the government is (mostly) closing all schools from Friday, and either cancelling or postponing the exams I was meant to do in twoish months (it's a bit unclear).
gollark: Unless people just panic-buy instantly when it's back in response to how much was panic-bought before.
