Patrick Hayman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Hayman (1915-1988) was an English artist who worked in a variety of media including painting, drawing and three-dimensional constructions. Although he only lived in Cornwall, for a few years, he was closely associated with the St Ives School of painters and sculptors.
Hayman acknowledged he was inspired to paint by R.N. (Bob) Field (1899-1987) teacher at the school of art in Dunedin, New Zealand, where Hayman went to live as a young man. He mingled there in the 1930s with a group of young artists who developed New Zealand's first indigenous Modernism. Notable in that group was Colin McCahon (1919-1987) who stayed in contact with Hayman and like him used texts as integral to his imagery.
