Reflection is essential , and I realize what Stanley William Hayter taught me at Atelier 17 in 1977-1978

It was one thing in particular that Stanley William Hayter taught me st Atelier 17, and it was the very furst thing when I arrived : how to creste the dense if space and dimension with the use of textures, lines, shapes that could create a 3-d effect. He did a drawing in my sketch book to illustrate this ehich I still have, and it with the first zinc intaglio plate I made with copies in different comors, all intaglio, I slso have tgst first plate, all in previous blogs here, and which I will find again snd include here, are all foundations fir all my work to follow with exhibits of this curst plate in all the rest. The rest was up to me, and I was off and flying! Like the street old man would say in a booming clear distinct voice ; a d I sag it, too and merci - " Beele Highterrrr! Le plus grand graveur du monde! "

Proof in writing that I both was at the Atelier 17 under Stanley William Hayter, and his assistants Hector Saunier, Juan, and another: and that I was an assistant to Joelle Serve at her Atelier 63 at 54 Rue Daguerre on the days that she was not there. In writing, English and French, great to still have all of this, it brings me tremendous joy the years then 1978-1980.

Lovely to have this to support my memories, their signatures, the photos, the art, etchings and all! Cheers, Anthony Alan Quinn 8/17/2026 happy Monday all, now here Chez Quinn 7:56pm At Atelier 17, Rue Didot, 75014, Paris, France, 1978-1979

Here is a picture of Cristina Piceda andme, Anthony Alan Quinn taken by John Towsma a friend from ewxYork.
