ABOUT THE ARTIST
Calixte Henry was
born in Port-au_Prince, Haiti in 1933. He began painting in 1955 at the Centre
d’Art, where for four years he studied under Philomé Obin. He opened his own
studio in 1959. In the mid 60’s he joined the Galerie Monnin. In the 1980’s he
received a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation which led to a three year
stay in New York.
He is strongly influenced by the impressionists and cubists, as well as certain
Haitian artists. He is particularly inspired by Braque’s sense of design and
Suerat’s mastery of color. As his methods evolved, Henry began to experiment
with razor blades as a means of applying the paint. Soon he completely
abandoned his brushes and moved on to painting exclusively with a palette
knife.
A highly respected artist who has carved an important niche in the history of
Haitian art, Henry has been widely exhibited in France and Switzerland, as well
as in Haiti and the U.S., and he has inspired and trained many younger artists.
