Garry was born in 1891 in Paris

He studied with Jules Adler and Gabriel Ferrier. He exhibited regularly as early as 1912 at the Salon des Artistes Francais (Paris); and he also exhibited at the Salons de la Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts et aux Independants.

He was known for his heart-warming and sometimes light-hearted genre scenes and decorative landscapes.

In recent times his work is attracting a very strong following due in part to the similarity, especially amongst the horse racing scenes, to that of Alfred Munnings.
