Henry C. Balink’s life and career could have gone in many directions, including as a professional bicyclist, ice skater or movie stuntman. And yet, the well-trained and multi-talented artist from Amsterdam always had his sights set on painting. He studied in Europe, but fled to America at the start of World War I. He initially came West after seeing a travel poster for Taos, New Mexico, where he first visited in 1917. He moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, permanently in 1923. He later trained George Phippen and Dwight D. Eisenhower as art students. His primary subject was Native Americans in the Southwest.
