Henri Marinus (Hans) Buys, pseudonym Henri Busy, (Amsterdam, December 21, 1937 – 2007) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist.
He is the son of Gerrit Buys, an office clerk in the timber trade, and Mathilda Henriëtte Carolina Wijsmuller. He received his training at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam South. In 1962, as a designer, together with other "Twintigers", he was assigned an exhibition space in the Industrial Club under the supervision of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. He worked for an advertising agency for some time. In 1966, his illustrations appeared in the book To Princess Beatrix by Adriaan Roland Holst. In the same year, his work was briefly shown in the Stedelijk Museum as part of "Atelier 4". The following year he was responsible for everything graphically related to the promotion of the Holland Festival (programs, guide, window posters, leaflets, etc.) . He had previously worked on it with others, but afterwards felt that there was no consistency. In 1969 he received the Van der Rijn Prize for a design of a poster People and Nature. Buys soon lost the Holland Festival again; it went back to designer Dick Elffers.
In the 1970s he saw the opportunity to adapt his style. He was a horse lover and could earn his living by painting horses (to order) and later also (dressed) dogs. To sound more international he changed his name to Henri Busy. He had an exhibition of his work in Hotel Philadelphia in Amman.
