      My dad was friends with Henri, if this is the same guy. He was living in S.F. at the time, early sixties. Great oil painter, did mostly portraits. He would sketch anything in minutes and it would look incredible. He often inscribed his ideas of what his models for his pictures, would say, he wrote these thoughts on the paintings in his architectural type of printing, very modern at that time. He was very gifted in both his artwork and his thinking. He did a lot of family portraits in oils. I remember seeing some of his work in downtown and tenderloin nightspots, I think a guy named Ron London collected his works. Stay in touch, I would love to hear more about him from others who may know about him or the whereabouts of his works.

        I have some of his pastels and am trying to find out how to sell them. My uncle worked in a bar in El Cerrito, CA in the 40′s…Henri Sabin did some portraits of movie stars…we have them still framed….they hung in the bar for years…my uncle inherited them from the bar owner and now I have them.

    I have a wonder pastel of a very young Barbara Stanwyck that I bought in San Francisco. I adore it. So glad to see other sketches by Sabin and learn a little about him.
