This exhibition, whose title translates to Hantaï, Klee, and Other Abstractions, pays tribute to Simon Hantaï, who was born in Hungary a hundred years ago and attained international fame while living in France. Through more than sixty works by Hantaï, including twenty-four previously unseen, and eight gifted to the museum by the artist’s family, the exhibition explores the sources of inspiration he drew on during his years in Paris between 1948 and 1952. The show also presents works by Sam Francis, Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, and Jackson Pollock, among others—all of whom were influential figures for Hantaï.

Jackson Pollock’s Mural (1943) is recognized as one of the pivotal achievements of the artist’s career, the moment when he left figuration behind, expanded the scale of his work, and started to develop his signature drip technique. The MFA has commissioned German artist Katharina Grosse to respond to this work, in an effort to demonstrate how the two artists have respectively transformed painting through their innovative techniques and approaches to massive scale.
