Simon Hantaï
Simon Hantaï was a Hungarian-born French painter (1922–2008) renowned for his "pliages" — canvases he crumpled, knotted, and folded before unfolding and painting, letting the untouched folds create striking patterns. Events bearing his name are typically retrospective exhibitions celebrating his influential role in postwar abstract art and his impact on later generations of painters.
