Boscoe Holder
Boscoe Holder (16 July 1921 – 21 April 2007), born Arthur Aldwyn Holder in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, of Barbadian descent in part, was Trinidad and Tobago's leading contemporary painter, who also had a celebrated international career spanning six decades as a designer and visual artist, dancer, choreographer and musician. In 1948 he married the dancer Sheila Davis Clarke, daughter of radio personality Kathleen Davis (a.k.a. "Aunty Kay"), and their son Christian was born the following year. Christian Holder eventually became a leading dancer with the Joffrey Ballet and an artist in his own right.〔(Christian Holder website. )〕 Living in London, England, during the 1950s and 1960s, Boscoe Holder has been credited with introducing limbo dancing and steel-pan playing to Britain,〔Peggy Schwartz and Murray Schwartz, (''The Dance Claimed Me: A Biography of Pearl Primus'' ), Yale University Press, 2011, p. 117.〕〔Lloyd Bradley, (''Sounds Like London: 100 Years of Black Music in the Capital'' ), London: Serpent's Tail, 2013, p. 68.〕 performing on British television and radio, in variety and nightclubs, in films, and at well-known theatres in the West End. His company also danced for Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953, and, in two years later, at Windsor Castle.〔Christian Holder, ("Boscoe Holder" (obituary) ), ''The Stage'', 1 June 2007.〕
He is considered one of the top painters from the Caribbean whose work is in many collections around the world.〔("Boscoe Holder" ), 101 Art Gallery @ Holder's Studio.〕 Particularly recognizable for his paintings of people of colour, relecting his appreciation of Caribbean people and culture,〔〔Samantha Noel, ("Gallery pays tribute to Boscoe Holder" ), ''The Trinidad Guardian'', 11 May 2007.〕 he often used his dancers as models, his favourite being his wife Sheila who was also lead dancer in his company.〔〔
His younger brother was the actor Geoffrey Holder – perhaps best known for his role as the villain Baron Samedi in the 1973 James Bond film ''Live and Let Die''.〔("Geoffrey Holder, Bond villain and dancer, dies aged 84" ), BBC News, 6 October 2014.〕
==Early life==
Born in Trinidad to Louise de Frense and Arthur Holder from Barbados, Boscoe Holder was the eldest of five children.〔(Boscoe Holder chronology at The Upper Room Art Gallery website. )〕 He attended Tranquility Intermediate School and Queen's Royal College. He started a musical career at a young age, playing the piano professionally for rich French creole, Portuguese and Chinese families. In his teens he began painting seriously. He was an early member of the Trinidad Art Society, along with people such as Ivy Hochoy, Hugh Stollmeyer and Amy Leon Pang.〔Raymond Ramcharitar, ("Boscoe, holder of one more award". )〕 Holder also formed his own dance company, the Holder Dance Company. His style carefully preserved Afro-Caribbean tradition. His paintings and dances were inspired by the shango, bongo and bélé dances, of the slaves. In 1947, he visited the US, where he taught dancing and exhibited his paintings, and on his return to Trinidad, in 1948, he married Sheila Clarke, his leading dancer.〔John Cowley, ("Boscoe Holder" (obituary) ), ''The Guardian'', 2 May 2007.〕 Boscoe's younger brother, actor Geoffrey Holder - perhaps best known for his role as the villain Baron Samedi in the 1973 James Bond film ''Live and Let Die'' - joined Boscoe's dance company at the age of seven.〔(Geoffrey Holder biography ) at IMDB.〕〔Jennifer Dunning and William McDonald, ("Geoffrey Holder, Dancer, Actor, Painter and More, Dies at 84" ), ''The New York Times'', 6 October 2014.〕
