STANLEY W. HAYTER
Cronos.

Engraving, soft-ground etching and scorper, 1944. 397x505 mm; 15 3/4x20 inches, full margins. Sixth state (of 6). Signed, titled, dated and numbered 42/50 in pencil, lower margin. A superb, richly-inked impression of this large, scarce print.

Among Hayter's most technically complex prints from the 1940s, made during several months (August through November) in 1944, when Jackson Pollock also worked at Atelier 17 creating 11 of his intaglio plates. Black/Moorhead 160.
