Michel HENRY
French painter, born on September 1, 1928 in Langres. Died in Paris on December 25, 2016.
Born to a military father and a milliner mother, it was his artist grandfather who encouraged him to persevere in his very young artistic predispositions and helped him to apply for the Beaux-Arts in Paris (1948-1951). He continued his training in the workshops of Narbonne and then Chapelain Midy. Michel Henry belonged to the Ecole de Paris (Bernard Buffet, Jean Carzou).
Very quickly he was exhibited in several Parisian galleries.
In 1953, he was given the task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lead a delegation of French students to the Institut Francais, the Maison de France of the Kurfunstendam, which organized meetings with students of the Fine Arts of Berlin.

The Takeda and Dong Sung Galleries introduced him to Japan (Tokyo) and South Korea (Seoul) where his paintings were a great success. Each of his exhibitions is highly anticipated while guaranteeing him numerous awards.

From 1990 onwards, he travelled and exhibited regularly in the Middle East and Asia
Since then, he has continued to promote French Art abroad.
