Brief History of the Artwork
The establishment of Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince by the American painter Dewitt Peters and journalist Selden Rodman in 1944 was instrumental in the revival of the artistic movement in Haiti. They became the promoters of "primitive art", with scenes depicted in bold, vigorous colors. This art has received both worldwide recognition and critical acclaim. Since then, Haitian art has been widely exhibited, collected, and displayed at many museums and sold at many galleries and major auction houses. HaitianPainting.com is honored to be associated with the movement that is taking Haitian Art to the next level.

The Artwork
Art is any form of personal expression that combines creativity with talent. The visionary artist transforms common objects into something imagined or realistic. Art may also reflect or address the beliefs of an individual or a community. These attributes are most characteristic of Haitian Art, which offers a brilliant insight into the history and culture of Haiti and the everyday struggle and survival of its people.
The art of Haiti is an outgrowth of a unique past involving socio-economic, ethnic, political, and religious phenomena. Since 1804, the year of Haitian independence, there has not been any other island in the Caribbean where so many great artists have created such large numbers of artwork that are "universally human." Voodoo, the religion inherited by individuals inside and outside of Haiti, continues to play a dominant role in the artistic expressions of the Haitian artists. HaitianPainting.com invites you to share the experience.
