BIOGRAPHY A TO Z
Arijac(Harry Jacques )(1937, Gonaives) Workshop of Alexander Thébaud As an architect, he worked with Sacha Thébaud who initiated him into the ancient technique of encaustic (mix of beeswax, turpentine and pigments) in which he excelled. Nowadays he paints with acrylics.
Armand, Gesner (1936,Croix–des-Bouquets) Mexico Art Center He was initiated into drawing and watercolor at the Centre D’Art, and was granted a scholarship by the French government in 1960. He lived in Paris for 2 years, and then came back to the Croix-des-Bouquets. He is known for his luminous country scenes and his pigeons: and his still-lives reveal an undeniable Mexican influence.
Beauvoir, Paul ( 1932,Port-au-Prince – 1972,Port-au-Prince) Gallery Brochette Using referential forms typical of Haitian daily life, his work is chiefly based on color effects.
Bigaud, Wilson( 1931, Port-au-Prince) Centre d’Art He used his innate sense of light to model a variety of forms on. Several nervous breakdowns, towards the end of the fifties, have affected his style.
Blaise, André (1961, Cap-Haitian) Workshop Philomé Obin Through his fish-characters, his work illustrates different Haitian lifestyles.
Blanc, Jean-Claude (1965, Cap-Hatien) Workshop Arc-En-Ciel He worked in the Arc-En-Ciel workshop in Cap-Haitian, where Laeticia Schutt was his teacher. He supports himself exclusively with his art. He has exhibited his work in galleries in Cap-Haitian, and in group shows in France and in the United States.
Cédor, Dieudonné( 1925, Anse-á-Veau) Centre d’Art and Foyer des Arts Platiques. To Cédor, every subject is a means to express his sensitivity towards the joys, the sorrows, the splendors and the apprehensions of life.
Bonhomme, Albott (1963, Port-de-Paix) Self-taught His tropical forests go beyond the degradation affecting the Haitian environment.
Chery, Jacques-Richard (1929, Cap-Haitian) Self-taught He interprets daily life with an abundance of details, which he applies to the world of children.
Dambreville, Claude(1934, Port-au-Prince) Centre d’Art, School ABC in Paris He divides his time between painting and writing. As an eminent technician, he is especially known for his brilliant market scenes. His work is essentially based on the play of shadow and light.
Descollines, Manès(1933, Petit-Trou-de-Nippes – 1985, Carrefour) Workshop Jaimé Colson Everything in his painting is meticulously calculated, run by his concept of depth expressed by the sole arrangement of flat geometrical shapes.
Dodard,Philippe( 1954, Port-au-Prince) Poto Mitan His work as a graphic artist undoubtedly explains the angular aspect of the subjects he fits into a space without perspective.
Domond, Wilmino (1925, Jacmel) Self-taught His work, where crowds predominate, is characterized by the power of his chromatic vibrations. Whether or not it is consciously used, rhythm is also important in the work of a great colorist like Domond, especially in his representations of crowds.
Dubic, Abner (1944, Léogâne) Self-taught, Workshop of Gabriel Lévêque As a landscape artist, Dubic shows a preference for details, and places the horizon far in the background, leaving one gazing into infinity. He expresses his own vision of daily life, brushing aside all bitterness, ugliness and anguish.
Dreux, Nicolas (1956, Port-au-Prince) Workshop of Calixte Henri Calixte Henri taught him a special method of knife painting using a razor blade. His work is done with a delicate touch, in which blues and pinks blend wonderfully. His favorite subjects are land and seascapes.
Duffaut, Préfète ( 1923, Jacmel) Centre d’Art Duffaut portrays urban life in a fantastical style. One will keep in mind minutely detailed paintings of his hometown, dating back to his early work, his participation in the fresco of the Sainte-Trinité Cathedral, as well as the heightened dream-like quality of his work in general.
Duval-Carrie, Edouard (1954, Port-au-Prince) Self-taught His work brings together popular traditions and contemporary trends.
Etienne, Jean-Bernard (1952, Gonaïves) Self-taught This naturally gifted artist demonstrated at a very early age a real passion for pictural expression. His work mostly describes the innocence of childhood, and it is his children portraits that have made him famous.
Exil, Levoy (1944, Soisson-la-Montagne) Saint Soleil His work is characterized by criss-crossed, sinuous lines, and his dotted lines, which create an effect of dancing figures on his canvases.
Fleurantin, Pascal (1971, Port-au-Prince) Son of a talented cabinet-maker, in his early childhood he is drawn to painting, especially that of seascapes.
Georges, Louis (1958, Gonaïves) Workshop of Albert Desmangles Reaching beyond the idiom of still-life painting, he places his subjects in a rural setting, that of huts and sheds.
Geslin, Jacques(1954,Jacmel) Fine Arts Academy Faithful to the tradition of paradise representations, he excludes all human presence from his works.
Gourgue, Jacques-Enguerrand(1930-199,Port-au-Prince) Centre d’Art, Self-taught His determination enabled him to become a master of expressionism through his drawing, light and color effects.
Henri, Calixte(1933,Port-au-Prince) Centre d’Art This impressionism and cubism fanatic abandoned his brushes, and adopted the razor blade, and later the knife. His painting, always dominated by one color, favors shades of green, pink or blue; it echoes the strength of his lines and reveals a complex and rich interior life.
Jean-Jacques, Carlo (1944-1990, Port-au-Prince) Foyer des Arts Plastiques The art of Carlo Jean-Jacques portrays the rustic citizens from the depths of the cities. Sometimes touching on caricature, he succeeds in capturing the attitudes of the street. His art might be defined as images portraying the poetry of poverty.
Jérôme, Jean-René (1942,Petit-Gôave – 1991,Port-au-Prince Calfou- Academy of Fine Arts Jerome’s education led him to prefer form over content. He used depersonalized female bodies as a basis for formal study. His work is characterized by bodies, depersonalized by the absence of any distinctive trait, floating in space as though freed from gravity.
Joseph, Casimir (1941,Port-au-Prince) Academy of Fine Arts His meticulous and detailed style makes his work, mostly in small paintings, extremely precious.
Joseph, Jasmin ( 1923, Grande-Rivière) Centre d’Art If art should indeed be amoral, then an exception should be made for the lessons given by Jasmin Joseph.
Joseph, Reynald (1973,Port-au-Prince) Workshop of Wilfrid Louis He was greatly influenced by the style of his elder, Carlo Jn-Jacques; he uses sinuous forms to suggest the intense emotions of the present moment.
Large, Edma ( 1928, Port-de-Paix) Self-taught Using colors intensified by the use of white, large paints mostly tropical flowers.
Laurenceau, Lyonel (1942, Port-au-Prince) ABC School of Paris He perfected his training of the Beaux-Arts at the ABC School of Paris. In 1966, he won his first prize at the New York World’s Fair. The onlooker’s attention is invariably caught by the quest for truth in his portraits, where he indexes different kinds of Haitian styles.
Lazard, Luckner (1928,Port-au-Prince – 1998, Jacmel) Centre d’Art He began his training at the Centre d’Art, then embarked on a series of trips in relations with his studies to Paris, Madrid and Mexico. When he became adult, he became a professional painter and settled in the United States. On background of a peculiar color, his very own personal blue, he draws flourishes that evoke forms inspired by Haitian life. He ended his career in Haiti, in the peace and quiet of suburban Jacmel.
Lebreton,Hervé (1941, Port-au-Prince) Workshop of Lyonel Laurenceau He began his training at the Beaux-Arts and put the finishing touches to it in Paris and in Chile. Talented singer and writer, this painter is a psychology fanatic, especially analysis and projection, which confers a cosmic touch to his work.
Louissaint, Franck ( 1949, Aquin) Centre d’Art Highly motivated, Louissaint broke with the so-called primitive style to attain a realism of photographic quality. Louissaint was born in Aquin, Haiti in 1949. He completed part of his studies in Port-au-Prince and began to paint on his own. In 1969, he joined the Art Center and developed a hyper-realist art which he then went on to teach at the center. He is known for his street scenes and paintings of rural life. Louissaint may be categorized as a pivot painter, having made the transition from the style of painting termed naïve to the more stripped-down painting termed modern. Being realistic in style and content has given Louissaint the title : “ Father of the New Generation of Haitian Art”. Recently interviewed twice on Haitian national television and part of a group exhibit in Germany, Louissaint is widening his reputation. His works are found in many permanent collections both public and private, in Europe and the United States
Legagneur, Jean-Claude (1947, Port-au-Prince) Art Student League of New York He began working with well-known artists, such as Bernard Wah, Rafael Denis, Davertige and Luckner Lazard, then went to perfect himself in the United States. When he returned to his homeland, he adopted Lesonée’s and Séjourné’s aesthetics, while setting forth his talent as a color artist.
Louizor, Ernst (1938, Port-au-Prince) Academy of Fine Arts. At the Beaux-Arts, Georges Ramponneau taught him drawing, composition and perspective. A surprising visual memory and a remarkable acuity of vision serve his very personal style.
Magloire, Stivenson (1963-1994, Pétion-Ville) Self-Taught Born to a mother who was a painter as well, his self-taught artist tackled painting very early on, and was almost immediately recognized by his peers. Unfortunately, life did not give him the opportunity to see his work through, work that had started out original.
Manuel, Michele (1935, Port-au-Prince) Academy of Drawing, San Juan, Puerto-Rico The Centre d’Art, then the painter Cervoni’s workshop in Puerto Rico, and then later the University of Rochester in New York took care of her pictorial education. The work of this woman painter was considered emblematic enough for one of her paintings, “ The Market” to be reproduced as a stamp in 1981.
