Who was Edward Middleton Manigault?

Edward Middleton Manigault was an American Modernist painter.

Manigault was born in London, Ontario on June 14, 1887. His parents were Americans originally from South Carolina. Encouraged in art from an early age, he was commissioned at the age of 18 the city of London to make renderings of public buildings for reproduction as postcards.

Manigault moved to New York City in 1905 and enrolled in classes at the New York School of Art. He studied under Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller. He moved away from Realism by 1909 and began producing paintings in a Post-Impressionism style. He first exhibited his work in New York that year, and in 1910 participated in the Exhibition of Independent Artists, which Henri had organized. In the spring of 1912, he traveled through England and France. In 1914, he staged a critically acclaimed one-man show at the Charles Daniel Gallery. His art was purchased by such notable collectors as J. Paul Getty and Arthur Jerome Eddy.

Manigault volunteered to serve as an ambulance driver with the British Expeditionary Force in 1915, during World War I. He married Gertrude Buffington Phillips two days before he shipped out.
