A Tribute to Abstraction: Simon Hantaï's À Gerald Manley Hopkins
In 1958, Simon Hantaï produced À Gerald Manley Hopkins, a pivotal work that bridge the gap between his Surrealist roots and the radical 'pliage' (folding) technique that would define his legacy. This piece is a dense, calligraphic exploration dedicated to the Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, whose concepts of 'inscape' and 'instress' resonated deeply with Hantaï’s spiritual approach to abstraction. At RedKalion, we offer this masterwork as a premium pack of 10 flat postcards, allowing you to share a fragment of art history with the sophistication it deserves.
