Ressac (from For Meyer Schapiro: A portfolio of twelve signed prints by twelve artists)

The artwork by Hayter might be classified within the Op Art movement of its time, it also has qualities based on the artist’s unique vision—revealing Hayter’s imaginative approach during the 1970s as well as his fascination with mathematics, vibrant analogous and complimentary colors, and lyrical linear waves that imply motion. This artwork is from a portfolio of original prints published in recognition of Meyer Schapiro (1904-1996), a distinguished art historian who was very much appreciated by major contemporary artists of his day. While the lithograph can be classified within the Op Art movement of its time, it also has distinct qualities based on the artist\u27s unique vision, revealing Hayter\u27s imaginative approach during the 1970s as well as his fascination with mathematics, vibrant analogous and complimentary colors, and lyrical linear waves that imply motion. In 1974, a committee was formed to establish a Chair in Art History at Columbia University in Schapiro\u27s honor. The portfolio, published in an edition of 100, was produced to raise funds to support the Chair. UND’s set of portfolio prints are numbered 71/100.https://commons.und.edu/lam-all/1153/thumbnail.jp
