Max Hayslette Art
Max Hayslette was born in Rupert, West Virginia, in 1929. He is a 1951-batch graduate of the American Academy of Art, in Chicago and also, in the fall of that year, studied briefly with Egon Weiner and Alexander Archipenko, at the Art Institute of Chicago. Mr. Hayslette said this brief period changed the way he viewed Art and his own perception of how he would eventually fit into a life of design and painting. This is, when and where, he began to appreciate the modernist way of looking at life and painting. At the end of 1951, Mr. Hayslette was granted an internship with Kenneth Olson, one of the original Chicago Seven, composed of leading artists and designers. This was a period when remnants of the Bauhaus movement listed Chicago as its home. Hayslette remained on the Olson staff for 10 years. In early 1962, he relocated to Seattle, WA and was a principal at Berg, Hayslette, Dupar design firm. In 1973, Hayslette founded Olympus Graphics, Inc. and Olympus Atelier on Bainbridge Island, WA. He now lives and works on the Kitsap Peninsula, in Washington State. Mr. Hayslette lists Alexander Archipenko and Man Ray as two artists he greatly admires and from whom, he has learned much. The artist has studied great works of Asian masters in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Kyoto. He has traveled Europe, studying and painting, and often paints in southern France and northern Italy, as well as the Greek Islands and western Turkey. The artist has been greatly influenced by these travels. Mr. Hayslette is represented in over 350 private, corporate and public collections, most notably “the Max Hayslette Archives Collection” at West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV.
