Henri HAYDEN
PLEASANT TABLE "CHAMP DE LAVANDE DANS LE SUD" by Henri HAYDEN (1883-1970) Oil on canvas signed lower left 50,5 x 61 cm Henri Hayden is a French painter and lithographer of Polish origin, born on 24 December 1883 in Warsaw and died in Paris on 12 May 1970. In 1907, he moved to Paris to a studio on Boulevard Saint-Michel where he worked in great solitude, although for a few months in 1908 he attended the La Palette academy of painting where Georges Desvallières and Charles Guérin taught. He spent the summer of 1908 in Pont-Aven, returning to Brittany, to Le Pouldu, from 1909 to 1912. In 1909, Hayden participates for the first time in the Salon d'automne. In 1910, he meets André Salmon. His first solo exhibition is held in 1911 at the Druet Gallery in Paris. From 1912 onwards, his admiration for Cézanne was such that his work until 1914 was described as "Cézannean". From 1914-1915, Hayden frequented the Cubists and, recommended by Juan Gris, signed an exclusive contract in 1915 with the Galerie de L'Effort Moderne, directed by Léonce Rosenberg, an ardent defender of the Cubists. His autograph signature appears on one of the sheets signed by the guests at the memorable banquet given on 31 December 1916 in honour of Apollinaire at the Ancien Palais d'Orléans on Avenue du Maine. During the German Occupation, Henri Hayden first took refuge in Auvergne where he met his friend Robert Delaunay. They joined Mougins on the Côte d'Azur, but the German advance of 1943 led Hayden to take refuge in Roussillon d'Apt where he became friends with Samuel Beckett. Back in Paris in 1944, Hayden discovered his looted studio.
