DescriptionThis Rouault woodblock print of the head of Christ was sent by the gallerist Dalzell Hatfield to Arthur Millier as a Christmas card c. 1978. From the late 1920s until the early 1980s, Dalzell Hatfield Galleries introduced Los Angeles to some of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, many of them exhibited for the first time in L.A.: Manet, Monet, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, Rouault, Renoir and Kandinsky, among many others. Hatfield and his wife Ruth also represented American and Mexican artists such as Gertrud and Otto Natzler, Millard Sheets, Russell Cowles, Pedro Coronel and Alfredo Ramos Martínez. The Hatfields dedicated their lives to exhibiting and selling modern art, in the process educating Angelenos about cutting-edge works coming from Europe, Latin America, and the United States.
