Through a symphony of shapes and hues, Sayen conveys the enchanting spirit and fantastical adventures that define the tales of Scheherazade, transporting the observer to a realm of wonder and intrigue.
Artist’s Background: Henry Lyman Sayen (1875-1918) was a multifaceted talent whose life spanned both artistic and scientific realms. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Sayen initially pursued a career in engineering and physics, specialising in electrical engineering and radio transmission. However, his passion for art led him to Europe, where he studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Immersed in the avant-garde movements of Fauvism and Expressionism, Sayen’s artistic style was profoundly influenced by these innovative trends.
