HAYDEN Henri

A painter from the School of Paris originating from Warsaw, Henri Hayden (1883-1970) transitioned from Cubism to a clear style of still lifes and landscapes. Discover his lithographs above.

Henri Hayden, from Cubism to Light

Born Henryk Hayden on December 24, 1883, in Warsaw, Henri Hayden first studied engineering at the Warsaw Polytechnic from 1902 to 1905, while attending the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1907, he moved to Paris and joined the generation of artists from all over Europe forming the École de Paris. He died in Paris in 1970.

A Parisian Career

His first solo exhibition took place in 1911 at the Druet Gallery. Influenced by Cubism, he developed a personal version, akin to Juan Gris, and dealer Léonce Rosenberg dedicated an exhibition to him in 1919. After this Cubist period, around 1916 to 1921, he returned to a more figurative painting style, inheriting from Paul Cézanne.

Still Lifes and Landscapes

Henri Hayden is best known for his still lifes and landscapes of the Marne Valley, treated in a light palette and refined forms. His work, balanced and harmonious, bridges the gap between Cubist rigor and sensitivity to the motif.
