Artist Biography

Henri Vincent-Anglade was born in 1876 in Bordeaux, France. He added his mother's patronymic to his father's to distinguish himself from his brother, the poster designer René Vincent. Vincent-Anglade was a pupil of Gustave Moreau, Fernand Corom and Francois Flameng at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and also Amable Pinta. Early in his career, he became a fashionable portrait painter, mainly of intimate paintings of women. He exhibited in Paris and regularly appeared in exhibitions, especially the Salon des Artistes Français, where he was awarded a distinction in 1903. He was a regular at greyhound and horse races, and was also valued as an animal painter.
