David Eugene Henry is an award-winning American painter and sculptor. He has been included in “Who’s Who in American Art” since 2006.

Biography

Born in Rome, Georgia in 1946 David Henry studied at the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech under the direction of P. M. Heffernan, who fashioned the architecture program after that of his alma mater, the Ecole des Beaux-arts in Paris[1]. At Georgia Tech he studied with painters John Hardy and George Beatty Jr., sculptor Julian Hoke Harris and was included in the 24th Annual Southeastern Exhibition[2] at the High Museum of Art.

After receiving his degree in architecture he enrolled in the Master of Visual Arts program at Georgia State University and in 1971 was awarded a scholarship to study art in Italy[3][1][4]. Clement Greenburg, one of America’s foremost mid-century art critics, selected artwork from David’s Italian series for inclusion in a national exhibition of contemporary American art. Other works from that series were exhibited at the High Museum of Art and were chosen by the Georgia Council for the Arts to be purchased for the State of Georgia permanent art collection[5]. Between 1970 and 1975 he executed several murals in Public buildings and in 1975 he won a mural design competition sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts[6][7]. Also in 1975 he accepted a position teaching in the art department at Eckerd College and by the end of 1977 his credentials included dozens of group exhibitions, fifteen one-man shows and significant awards including three grants from the National Endowments for the Arts[3][1].

In 1980 he set up a studio in New York City and did post-graduate studies at the Art Students’ League of New York and with notable American painter Philip Pearlstein[3][1]. In 2012 he moved to Palm Springs, California. His artwork is in the permanent collection[8] of the State of Georgia and numerous museums including the Georgia Museum of Art[9], the Indiana Museum of Art[10], and the Leslie/Lohman Museum of Art[11].
