Description
Original oil on canvas painting by third-generation Haitian artist Calixte Henri, circa late 1980s. The painting depicts a vibrant genre scene of figures in landscape. A charming painting appropriate for any room in home or office. Painting in original plaster and wood frame with some cracking.
The rudimentary drawing is compensated by a harmony of elegant colors.
Henri received a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation of New York in the 1980s. His works have been widely exhibited in France and Switzerland as well as in Haiti and the U.S., and have a world-wide reputation among galleries and collectors. His paintings illustrate scores of books on Haitian art.
