George Henry (painter)

His "Galloway Landscape" was epoch-making at Glasgow by reason of its higher key of colour and essentially decorative character.

Henry's importance consists in his influence in the Glasgow school in the direction of richer and more decorative color.

Henry's pictures in public collections include The Blue Gown, Museum of Cape Town, The Grey Hat, at the Royal Scottish Academy,[3] two portraits at Glasgow, and one at Montreal.

The Black Hat, a portrait of an Edwardian woman, was included in Modern Britain, a 2007 exhibition at Melbourne's National Gallery of Victoria.

[citation needed] In 1893 he went to Japan with Edward Atkinson Hornel, another of the Glasgow Boys, for an 18-month study tour.
