LOT NOT SOLD

ARTIST: UNKNOWN HAITAIN ARTIST
TITLE: UNKNOWN
Paint on canvas 30.5 x 74.5cm.

Haitian art is rooted in a complex tradition, reflecting African roots with strong Indigenous, American and European aesthetic and religious influences.
Many artists cluster in "schools" of painting, such as the Cap-Haïtien school, which features depictions of daily life in the city, the Jacmel School, which reflects the steep mountains and bays of that coastal town, or the Saint-Soleil School, which is characterized by abstracted human forms and is heavily influenced by "Vaudou" symbolism.

Recognizable themes reoccur in Haitian painting. Themes like country and everyday life, market women, landscapes and vodou. This Artwork by an unknown Haitian artist uses vivid colourful juxtapositions to capture a bucolic rural scene.
