...canvases treated with bright colors, forming beautiful and disorienting aperiodic patterns. For a long period, however, he sealed himself off from the public, becoming virtually invisible. Near the end of his career in public, the Times reports, Hantaï presented his work at “a noncommercial exhibition space in Paris.” The artist cited an irreconcilable vision of his work with the public as responsible for his isolation: “I felt that the art world was going wrong… I was starting to receive commissions.
