Cross, Henri-Edmond
Cross, Henri-Edmond (1856–1910). French painter, mainly of landscapes. He worked in an Impressionist and then a Neo-Impressionist style, and his use of large dots of bright colour had a brief but important influence on the early work of the Fauves, notably Matisse, who in 1904 visited him at his home at Le Lavandou on the Mediterranean coast when he was spending the summer at St-Tropez, near Signac. Alfred H. Barr wrote of their relationship: ‘ Cross was a gentler personality than Signac and a better colorist. Matisse has often spoken of him with respect and it seems probable that Cross, at least as much as Signac, now helped change the course of Matisse's art’ (Matisse: His Art and his Public, 1951).

Edmond Henri Fischer
Edmond Henri Fischer 1920–, American biochemist, b. Shanghai, China. As researchers at the Univ. of Washington in Seattle, Fischer and Edwin G. Krebs discovered a biological regulatory mechanism, reversible protein phosphorylation, that affects nearly all human cells. The mechanism, which because of its reversibility can occur repeatedly, regulates cell processes and functions and triggers the release of hormones and amplifies their effects. For their work, Krebs and Fischer shared the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. |
