<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Mackay, post: 234265, member: 4589&quot;]I find the same paragraph or two everywhere I manage to find anything at all, obviously all originating from the same single source.</p><p>An image search - as typical - produces lots of images, most NOT by him.</p><p>I&#039;ve found images of 7 paintings online and one on a 1950&#039;s tin of shortbread biscuits from a Scottish manufacturer that I&#039;ve seen nowhere else.</p><p>Here&#039;s the info from which all comes that I have found -</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Brief Artist Bio : Henry Housier (French, 1905-) was born in 1905 in Lyon, France. He began his art study at a local painting school and later moved to Paris where he continued his art education at the Académie des Beaux-Arts (Academy of Fine Arts). Housier is primarily known for his colorful Parisian cityscapes &amp; street-scenes which feature the daily life and people of Paris, cafés &amp; outdoor restaurants but is also known for his landscapes, marine scenes, and lake &amp; coastal scenes, from the upper Italian regions and floral still lifes which he often mastered in perfect abstraction. He traveled extensively and also lived in Italy and Holland for a time, all the while continuing to develop his painting skills and furthering his artistic career. He exhibited in numerous shows in Paris, Rome and Vienna.

I doubt it. He seems to have peaked in the 50&#039;s and been, ultimately, an artist of minor note.</p><p>You&#039;ll find the sailboats with windmill, the Arc d&#039; Triomphe street scene,,&nbsp; three Paris street scenes, a woodland/river landscape, and sail boats on water near a lakeside village.</p><p>The biscuit tin shows small sailboats pulled up on shore, probably in the same village.</p><p><br /></p><p>But somewhere there should be more! Someone should know more![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
