From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Middleton Manigault (1887 – 1922) was an American Modernist painter.

Manigault was born in London, Ontario on June 14, 1887. He 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 the style of Post-Impressionism. In 1915 he married Gertrude Buffington Phillips and shortly thereafter volunteered as an ambulance driver in the World War I. During the postwar years, he worked in a wide range of styles. He was inspired by the example of American modernists including William and Marguerite Zorach. In 1919 he resettled in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles, California. He starved himself to death in 1922.
