Henry Lyman Sayen The Thundershower Jigsaw Puzzle

Henry Lyman Sayen The Thundershower jigsaw puzzle. The Thundershower is one of Henry Lyman Sayen's most famous paintings. A colourful abstract work by the American fauvist and cubist master of modern art. Saÿen studied with Matisse in Paris and was among the first to bring modern art into Philadelphia’s conservative culture. He created The Thundershower from a mix of European modernism and Native American decorative patterns. But this painting is not just ​“cross-cultural.” It also marks a transition from an older world to a new and dynamic century. The two figures move through time and space like the frames of a filmstrip, and organic forms meld with angles and arcs of pure colour. Before he began to paint, Saÿen was an electrical engineer who held patents for radiological instruments. He died on the threshold of the Machine Age, shortly after completing this work, and The Thundershower suggests an artist who was already engaged in a new way of seeing. An ideal gift for a lover of modern art and jigsaw puzzles.
