Henry Pierre Villierme (August 21, 1928 – March 13, 2013) was an American painter associated with abstract expressionism and the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Villierme was one of the "Second Generation" members of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Villierme first rose to prominence with a series of successful exhibitions in the late 1950s. From the 1960s to the 1980s Villierme continued to paint and sculpt in his studio, and in the late 1980s returned to public exhibitions.
