Item Overview

Description

Henry Poundmaker Beaudry was born in 1921on Poundmaker First Nation, a great-grandson of the legendary Chief Poundmaker.  At age 19, he enlisted and eventually was posted to Italy. During his tour of duty in Italy, Beaudry was wounded, forcing a lengthy hospital stay. He was later captured in Ravenna, Italy by the Nazis. Beaudry was taken prisoner and sent to the infamous Stalag VII-A, the largest German prisoner of war camp during the Second World War. But in the course of being moved to another location, Beaudry escaped, along with a fellow Mongolian prisoner from the Russian army. After days walking in cold conditions, Beaudry was taken in by a group of farmers who hid prisoners from the German army. Beaudry eventually wound up in Holland. As the war wound down, Beaudry was taken in by the American forces and fought alongside them.    After the war, Beaudry took up art on Mosquito First Nation, starting out doing drawings on paper but eventually moving into paintings. The war years would be well represented by Beaudry in his artwork later on. Beaudry signed each one of his paintings with a drawing of an eagle feather, a reference to the eagle feather he had kept with him during the war, but which he lost on the day he was captured. Beaudry earned a living as an artist and his work eventually came to the attention of Chris Odishaw of Battleford Furniture, who developed a strong friendship with Beaudry. He met Beaudry for the first time back in 1979 when his parents first opened their furniture store and ultimately struck a deal with Beaudry where the artist would do paintings for him exclusively. Odishaw today owns a collection of Beaudry’s work numbered at around 1,300. Beaudry was entirely a self-taught artist. His style has much in common with his contemporary, the late Allen Sapp, in that he painted out of his mind and out of his memory. Beaudry’s artwork made its way to the famous and powerful, with works presented to Queen Elizabeth and to Pierre Elliott Trudeau. He met Justin Trudeau in Saskatoon in 2013, when the future prime minister was in the city for the Canada Remembers Our Heroes Air Show.  A documentary on Beaudry’s life, entitled H. Beaudry: Covers the Earth Boy, has aired on outlets such as CTV. Beaudry’s works have been shown in galleries across western Canada, including a major display at Wanuskewin as well at the Allen Sapp Gallery, the Museum of Natural History in Regina and other venues. Battleford Furniture has displayed many of Beaudry’s works at its location. Henry Beaudry passed away in 2016 at the age of 95.
