Gentry, Herbert (American painter, 1919-2003, active in Sweden)
|
Note: Born in Pittsburg, Herbert Gentry grew up in the Harlem and East Side neighborhoods of New York City. He attended art classes through the WPA Program, NYU night classes, and YMCA drawing classes before being drafted into the Armed Forces during the Second World War. Gentry visited Paris during his service and eventually returned in 1946 after being discharged. There, he studied art at the Beaux Arts school and La Grande Chaumiere. Based in France, Gentry traveled the world and produced art until he moved to Sweden before passing away from a heart attack in 2003. As he puts it, Gentry's art focuses on his experiences as a Black man in a Black world. |
