Joseph Henri Baptiste Lebasque (1865-1937) was an French painter, known for working in the post-impressionist style.
Henri Lebasque was born on September 25, 1865, in Champigné, France.
Lebasque was a founding member of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 with his friend Henri Matisse and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants.
Two years later, a group of artists exhibited there including Georges Rouault, André Derain, Henri Ottmann, Édouard Vuillard and Matisse.
Lebasque also became friends with artists such as Raoul Dufy, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin, the last of whom introduced Lebasque to the South of France.
His time in South of France would lead to a radical transformation in Lebasque's paintings, changing his colour palette forever.
Other travels included the Vendée, Normandy, and Brittany.
Lebasque had some commercial success during his lifetime.
He worked on the decorations at the theatre of the Champs-Elysées and of the Transatlantique sealiner.
Lebasque died at Cannet, Alpes Maritimes in 1937.
