Max Hayslette born in Rupert, West Virginia in 1930, is a classically trained artist. His talent was evident early on, when he exhibited his first one-man show in 1946, before he even began his art education. In 1952 he completed his studies at the Art Institute in Chicago, where he studied closely with Alexander Archipenko and Egon Weiner.
A world-renown landscape artist, Hayslette's work reflects a gentle and spiritual quality. His intensely warm color palette and sense of dramatic lighting transports the viewer to familiar, at time surreal, destinations. "The combination of a long dance between memory and imagination is the root from which my images grow."
