Arthur Deshaies(19202011) was an American printmaker and painter who made non-geometric abstractions in a style he called "abstract impressionist."After his death a curator described a dominant aspect of Deshaies' prints, calling them "biomorphic, surrealist fantasies."Deshaies showed frequently in commercial and academic galleries and in museums and his work frequently received critical notice. He employed traditional printmaking techniques and also used new techniques including one that he called stencil-offset and another which employed sheets of plastic as the matrix. His long career as an artist was matched by an equally long career as an art teacher. Deshaies was born and raised in and around Providence, Rhode Island Drawn to art at a very young age, he once said that he made his first art prints at the age of ten using the hand wringer from his mother's washing machine.After he completed his high school education in 1940, he began studying art atCooper Unionin Manhattan.
