Hayter (born in England in 1901, died in Paris in 1988) is considered as one of the creators of modern engraving. His famous Atelier 17 was one of the most significant studios of the 20th century. Both an innovator, with the technical knowhow of a wizard some said, and a great influence in the art world, Hayter was truly one of the main protagonists of the Surrealist movement.
He moved to Paris in 1926 and opened his studio the following year. Atelier 17 soon played a pivotal role and became a center of creative energy. In the field of graphic art, it was the locus of experimentation. Chagall, Ernst, Giacometti, Lipchitz, Miro and many others were frequent visitors.
Later in1940, Hayter moved to New York where he lived for ten years. Back in Paris in 1950, he opened a branch of his Atelier 17. He produced two major works that have become fundamental references in the art of engraving: New Ways of Gravure in 1949, and About Prints in 1962.
Hayter was never much interested in promoting his own art. In spite of this, today his works hang in the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and in the Pompidou Center in Paris.

Index chosen on the movements, important currents and events in the XX 2nd century art
I wanted to give here, with 46 various short introductions, some general elements on the movements or currents of art, groups or exhibitions, which concern the artists whose works are presented in gallery or were it recently. The table, above, will make it possible to visually locate the periods or dates in time.
Each entry is followed of a list of the principal artists belonging to the movement or current. It may be that there is only one simple relationship between such or such artist and the movement in which in theory one locates it (Click on the names in blue to reveal work or works currently in stock).
It will be understood, some movements are represented much than of others in my gallery. The same artist will be often found in several movements (as each one knows it, it was thus).
Although these some introductions, briefly developed, are not addressed to the specialists, they will forgive me the few lapses of memory or choices which would lend to discussion. I hope that these tiny introductions will be however useful to some of you. Michelle Champetier
