International Sophistication in the Haitian Milieu |
 |
| Born in 1933 in Port-au-Prince, Calixte Henry began his painting career in 1955 at the Centre d'Art. Four years later, he had opened his own studio where he pursued his interest in cubism and impressionism. Inspired by Braque's elegant sense of design and Seurat's mastery of color, Henry manages to combine European style and Haitian subject matter. Painting entirely with a pallete knife, he captures the vivid light of the tropics and the beauty of the Haitian landscape. Henry has exhibited in both Europe and the United States. He won a special mention in Switzerland's Guggenheim Contest. |
