HENRI HAYDEN (1883-1970)
Henri Hayden (originally ‘Henryk’ and Polish by birth) studied at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. He moved to France in 1907 where he lived and worked for the rest of his life. He was as a painter of the Ecole de Paris, but took up Cubism between 1915 and 1922 and was very much in the thick of the Braque/Picasso set. He fled to the South of France during the War, returning to Paris after peace. In the early 1960s he moved to the countryside east of Paris, where these works were made. He regularly sent works for exhibitions in London and consequently has a following here.

RUTH HEPPEL (1926-2003)
Ruth Heppel trained at the Regent Street Polytechnic (1944 – 1947) under Norman Blamey O.B.E. R.A. (1914-2000) who became a lifelong friend and mentor. In her final year she won the prestigious British Institution Scholarship in Painting. Heppel made still life and landscape throughout her life, but most successfully established herself as a portrait painter gaining many high profile – and Royal – comissions. This group of works, all from her Estate, demonstrate how well she understood and executed Blamey’s rigorous method of looking, drawing and painting.
