Greeting Card 1948 - 1949

This greeting card, created by Stanley William Hayter between 1948 and 1949, is an example of the artist's exploration of abstract forms. The print features a complex composition of swirling lines and shapes that appear to be in motion. The use of dark and light tones creates a sense of depth and texture, further enhancing the dynamic energy of the work. Hayter was a renowned printmaker and the founder of Atelier 17, a workshop in Paris that served as a hub for innovative printmaking techniques. The card's small size, combined with its intricate details and the artist's signature, adds a personal touch, suggesting it was likely intended as a unique gift.
