Herbert Gentry is best known for his vigorous combination of Expressionism and abstract painting. Gentry had moved to Stockholm in 1965, after having lived in Paris since 1946. By the 1970s, he had a well-established career as a painter in Northern Europe and Paris. He was associated with both the influential CoBrA group of Dutch painters, Karel Appel and Corneille, and a dynamic group of African-American painters living in Northern Europe, including Sam Middleton and Walter Williams.
