We are immensely proud to be holding an auction dedicated to the extraordinary works of visionary artist Patrick Hayman. Hayman's world was intensely private. He single-mindedly pursued a personal mythology through numerous small paintings, drawings, constructions and poetry, sometimes painstakingly reworking them over several years. He was an artist who was well integrated in the post-war art scene in Cornwall and held many prestigious exhibitions during his long career. He was revered by the likes of Hepworth and Lanyon, who recognised a kindred spirit and respected him and his work deeply.
If, like us, you were not so familiar with Hayman, we hope you enjoy stepping into his world through this incredibly interesting and thought-provoking collection. We also invite you to learn more about the artist in our blog post: Patrick Hayman; Painter, Poet & Publisher (1915-1988), Works from a Visionary Artist.
