Eric Skipsey
(1919 - 2018)
photographe anglais

Né en Angleterre (à Canterbury) le 14 juillet 1919, Eric Skipsey a des origines anglaises de par son père Richard Stuart Skipsey, un peintre portraitiste, et aussi des origines françaises par sa mère, qui était la fille du Marquis de Boubersse de Corberville. Eric passe son enfance dans des écoles privées puis fait de grandes études d'ingénieurie (à Cambridge). Jeune, il est un patineur artistique accompli, remportant la médaille d'argent aux championnats britanniques de patinage artistique.
Après sa démobilisation pour la seconde Guerre Mondiale, où il sert dans la corporation de la 'Royal Army Service' au début de la guerre et reçoit même une décoration comme héros (il a été blessé lors de l'évacuation de Dunkerque), il devient photographe après avoir étudié cet art à Bruxelles, Paris, Londres et le Canada, où il s'installe en 1946 pour y ouvrir son premier studio, le British Columbia, à Vancouver. Il devient l'un des portraitistes et photographe de mode des plus éminents du Canada, ayant notamment accompagné la reine Elizabeth et le prince Philip lors de leur première tournée officielle au Canada; puis il emménage à Los Angeles en 1956 pour continuer son travail dans l'industrie cinématographique. Il devient un photographe réputé aux Etats-Unis en immortalisant les plus grands noms de la scène internationale du monde artistique et politique. Parmi les plus grandes stars qui sont passées sous son objectif: Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Tony Curtis, Loretta Young, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, James Stewart, Angela Lansbury, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, Jayne Mansfield mais aussi le President Ronald Reagan, Lord Alexander de Tunis, le Premier Ministre Clement Attlee, Igor Stravinsky, puis encore dans le milieu de la mode, avec les créations des couturiers David Hayes, Travilla, Cahill, Blackwell... et il a photographié aussi des productions théâtrales.

Born in England (in Canterbury) on July 14, 1919, Eric Skipsey has English origins through his father Richard Stuart Skipsey, a portrait painter, and also French origins through his mother, who was the daughter of the Marquis de Boubersse de Corberville. Eric spent his childhood in private schools then studied engineering (in Cambridge). Young, he was an accomplished figure skater, winning the silver medal at the British Figure Skating Championships. After his demobilization for the Second World War, where he served in the corporation of the 'Royal Army Service' at the start of the war and even received a decoration as a hero (he was wounded during the evacuation of Dunkirk), he became photographer after having studied this art in Brussels, Paris, London and Canada, where he settled in 1946 to open his first studio, British Columbia, in Vancouver. He became one of Canada's foremost portrait painters and fashion photographer, including accompanying Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on their first official tour of Canada; then he moved to Los Angeles in 1956 to continue his work in the film industry. He became a renowned photographer in the United States by immortalizing the biggest names on the international scene of the artistic and political world. Some of the biggest stars who posed for him: Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Tony Curtis, Loretta Young, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, James Stewart, Angela Lansbury, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, Jayne Mansfield but also President Ronald Reagan, Lord Alexander of Tunis, Prime Minister Clement Attlee, Igor Stravinsky, then again in the world of fashion, with the creations of couturiers David Hayes, Travilla, Cahill, Blackwell ... and he also photographed theatrical productions.
Widowed (by wife Frances Koshland Hawkes Skipsey), he died peacefully on January 29, 2018, at the age of 98.
