, Briest Group, Drouot-Montaigne, Paris. A good price for Hantaï who settled in Paris in 1949. Hantaï has not been exhibiting his works much. Attracted by Surrealism he has been considered as a solitary artist creating monstrous figures, which much impressed André Breton in 1953. From then on he seemed interested in the works of Jackson Pollock and applied automatic formulas to his paintings in a style reminiscent to those of Riopelle and Mathieu. He then went on to try new experiments painting large surfaces with quantities of neo-Impressionist touches reconstitutes the vibration of light before folding and stretching back his canvasses with blue and white colours which brought him closer to the U.S minimalist artists.
