"[Among those who] do not sin with a lack of museum education, are traditionalists, but do not lend themselves to the tendency to archaize and follow either the youngest directions in French art or independently solve the problems of painting and sculpture [is Hayden], who most clearly and intelligently uses the influence of the art of Cézanne and Gaugin, but [shows] a distinct talent for composition and complete originality in the decorative harmonization of color patches [....] " (Quoted in.
