Edward Middleton Manigault was born in London, Ontario, Canada on June 14, 1887.  Manigault had a mental breakdown while serving as an ambulance driver for the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during the World War. 

Opting for an art career, he was a pupil of Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller in NYC.  In search of a therapeutic climate, he left NYC in 1919 and settled in Los Angeles. As the Hindu mystics advocated, he fasted for months in an attempt to achieve a spiritual vision for his paintings. 

He died of starvation while visiting in San Francisco on Aug. 31, 1922.  Due to his short lifespan, his works are rare. 
Exh: Armory Show (NYC), 1913; Columbus (OH) Museum, 2002 (retrospective).

Works held in Public Places:  Columbus Museum; Gibbes Gallery (Charleston, SC).
