The word “Haiti” and vividly
flamboyant paintings are practically synonymous in some people’s
minds…. The appearance of colorful,
often primitive or “naïf,” and always intriguing Haitian
paintings has been referred to as one of the greatest artistic phenomena
of the twentieth century.
At first largely encouraged by American artist
De Witt Peters in the 1940’s,
many self-taught Haitian artists and their works have at last come to the fore
of the art scene. From casual, lush-colored and decorative paintings, to those
by highly collectible artists such as Claude Dambreville, Frits Merize, and Préfete
Duffaut, we have much to view. A walk through our Caribbean art gallery is an
adventure for the eyes and often quite an alluring journey for the soul.
