Henri Gadbois Figurative Paintings
American, b. 1930
Henri Gadbois was a second-generation Houston artist. A native Houstonian, Gadbois graduated from Lamar High School and the University of Houston, receiving bachelor of fine arts and master of letters degrees. Although his main interest had been in painting the Texas landscape, he was also interested in primitive rug hooking, quilting and ceramics. He spent as much time as possible with his artist wife, Leila McConnell, at their home in the Texas hill country in Ingram, Texas.
