Manfred Heine-Baux

a.k.a. Manfred Heine

1940 - 2000

        Manfred Heine-Baux, M.F.A., Ph.D.

Manfred was born in Munich. From 1959 to 1966 he studied psychology, art history, painting, lithography and etching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he taught after receiving his degree of Master of Fine Arts in 1964, ( PhD in Art History ).
M. Heine-Baux lived and worked in Germany, South Africa, France and the United States, and has established his studio in Canada where in 1984, he settled with his family. He has traveled and painted throughout France, Italy, Portugal, East Africa, Hawaii, the Caribbean, South America, Thailand, Tahiti, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Nepal, U.S.A. and Canada. The impressions left with him by these travels have had a tremendous impact on his work, as have his years of living in both his beloved Provence and in North America.

In his unique bold expressionistic style, he creates compositions built on the essential. The vibrant contrast of colours tends to eliminate the details and simplify the shapes. Swirling brush strokes compete with precise and delicate touches creating a rhythm which animates the painting. In Heine-Baux's work we find both power and dynamics.

European and American art critics have described his art as
a visual experience, which becomes a "harmonized fireworks display". The atmosphere of his exotic markets is as convincing and colourfully depicted as the atmosphere in his brilliant French landscapes or the radiance of the personalities in his portraits.

The key element, evident in M Heine-Baux's work is his ability to communicate his enthusiasm for life and beauty, through his choice of colours.

His work can be found in private, public and corporate collections in Canada, Europe, U.S.A. and Japan.
