ENRICO VITTORIO PINARDI

I am still influenced by Henry's teaching style for drawing so I think of him often when I am drawing (which is a lot).

Whenever I pick up a drawing pencil, I think of my wonderful Professor Henry P. If he remembered me amongst all of his students, I would be honored. I did a series of drawings of historical houses in my town and having a showing of them as we speak at a local real estate office in my town. I think he would have been a proud teacher. Having been an are teacher for 30 years, I would understand

I have known Enrico over the past 20 years. One of the nicest people I have ever met. We often spoke of our common interests of the Detroit Tigers, his coaching at the Boston Garden , and my daughter’s figure skating. He was so interesting and so kind. Looking forward to the party he asked for sometime later this year to meet all of the great friends he has! Bruce Munger

Best dang art teacher I ever had.

So heart broken to hear of Henry’s passing. May he Rest In Peace with OUR LORD My mentor, my friend, we bonded right from the beginning, a student of his from 1970-1974 honestly taught me so much both artistically and philosophically., a great adviser. Henry would always be there for everyone. The wonderful trips to NY City , so many great happy memories. Spent such great times together, at his home in Dedham MA. and in Oaks Bluff on Martha’s Vineyard in his Inn/ Hotel. Going crabbing at...

Gayle and family, although you don’t know me - I was truly blessed to get to know your husband as a student and future artist - his talents and gregarious nature left an indelible mark on myself along with my fellow classmates - I remember him with his Kahlúa and coffee in hand for most drawing classes - always smiling, joking, and positivity for all of his kids - he was infectious - his complements and critics resonated with all of us...I am proud to be a fellow artist because of teachers...

I was a former art student in 1969 at RIC when Henry was teaching there. He was an old soul that helped me through hard times and nurtured my own talents. I became an artist and art teacher, I worked on MV in his mom and dad's antique and art store and lived at the Pequot with them. I will never forget my time there and the influence it had on my life. I have a painting of Brenda's hanging in my office even now. Henry was a talented man and took us to Art Museums in NYC and that also...

Henry Pinardi was very influential to me as one of his 1st students at RIC. I still cannot draw to this day without thinking of his teachings and style. I worked on MV in his father and mother's antique and art shop during summers and the bar he owned DID have famous people come and go. I was too young to walk into the bar when Tom Rush was sitting in there. Today, I sing his music and think of those days. I lived with Henry and Brenda because the rest of the worker's beds in other...

Great teacher and artist. Inspiring philosophy to art mixed with a great sense of humor. Memories from 1989-1992. See you in heaven Enrico.
