A Faux-Food Affaire: Henri Gadbois & Richard Stout

As Thanksgiving ends and the Holiday season begins, Henri Gadbois presents the perfect way to bring home a fruit cake… and never have to eat it. A Faux-Food Affaire: Ceramics by Henri Gadbois & Still Lifes by Richard Stout offers seasonal delicacies such as plum pudding, cheesecake and fruit cake­ ; The only catch- you can’t actually eat them. These ceramic sculptures are molded after the real foods, which the artist makes (and enjoys) himself. He then paints the object to resemble the prepared food, so expertly that you want to dig right in.

Houston Founding Modernist Henri Gadbois has been creating his Faux-Food items since 1989, when as a docent at Houston’s Bayou Bend Collection, he was asked to create a 14-inch stew-filled pastry for the Museum’s Christmas Table.

He obliged, and since has been making molds and creating his Faux-Foods for museums and private collections across the nation, including George Washington’s Mount Vernon.

This exhibition will also feature smaller, individual food items that can double as the most delicious ornament on your tree.

Accompanying Gadbois in this Food Affaire, is fellow Houston Founding Modernist, Richard Stout. Stout's still life series features delectable depictions of cheesecake , brownies, and eclaires, while also touching on themes of culture and travel.

HENRI GADBOIS (b. 1930)

Born in Houston, Texas to a father working as a commercial artist for Madison Southwest, Henri Gadbois was exposed to art all his life.

His father was vehemently opposed to abstract art and, although arguments regarding the subject matter were frequent, Gadbois was greatly influenced by his father. Gadbois was also strongly influenced by Noma Henderson, his high school art teacher. She introduced Gadbois to ceramics, leading to his first exhibition which featured a small bowl he created while still in high school.

Gadbois graduated from Lamar High School and earned his bachelor of fine arts and master of letters from the University of Houston in 1952 and 1953, respectively. Gadbois studied under Texas greats Robert Preusser and Lowell Collins, stating that his time at the University of Houston was one of great change. During his U.S. military service in Germany, he had studio space at the University of Georgia in Furth which allowed him to continue to paint.

Shortly before retiring from public school teaching, Gadbois began making faux food for the Yuletide Celebration at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens. In 1995, he started Faux Foods, a company that makes earthenware foods in the 18th and 19th Century manner for museums.

Richard Gordon Stout Richard Stout was born in 1934 in Beaumont, Texas. He quickly discovered his interest in art and, while still in high school, studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati during summer visits with family in Ohio. Stout received a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). He completed graduate studies and earned his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at the University of Texas at Austin. From 1959 to 1967, Stout was an instructor at the Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. After completing his MFA, he began teaching art at the University of Houston, a career he maintained until his retirement in 1996. Stout was named Texas Artist of the Year in 2004 by the Art League of Houston and, in 2010, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art (CASETA). He resides in Houston, Texas.
