Henry d'Anty, is a French painter, born under the name of Maurice Henry on September 8, 1910 in the Belleville district of Paris. He died at the age of 88 on December 4, 1998.
From a young age, he was drawn to drawing. He devoted his free time to sketching, inspired by the surrounding landscapes. After receiving his graduation diploma, he began working with his father as a sales representative, but he got up very early in the morning to draw before leaving for work. He drew and painted on cardboard, canvases and anything he could find that could serve as a support.
Henry d'Anty studied art at the Académie Julian and developed many affinities with the artists of the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. His palette is rich in color. It is dominated by a powerful ruby red to which he generally combines ochre and blue. D'Anty paints large impasto that overlap each other and saturate the canvas with their luminous intensity. Then, he outlines the essential shapes of the painting by emphasizing them, here and there, with black touches. The material, the shine and the choice of colors in his paintings are reminiscent of enamel.
D'Anty paints scenes of rural life, country festivals and still lifes. He draws inspiration from Brittany, Béarn and the north of France in his landscapes despite an inspiring life in Montmartre.
The Petit Palais records show that his works have been exhibited in many galleries and museums, as well as in the main French salons.
Many critics such as Guy Bataille, Jean Chabanon, Paul Reboux and André Warnod were interested in his work. His name appears in the Bénédicte and Pierre Morgane devoted a book to him which was published in 1962 by Éditions Maubert.
D'Anty's works can be found, among others, at the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Chrysler Museum of Art (USA), as well as in museums in Warsaw and Barcelona.
