About the Artist: Jacques-Enguerrand Gourgue Gourgue was born in Port-au-Prince in June of 1931. As soon as he completed his primary education he began painting and quickly achieved world-reknown status. At the age of 17 one of his canvases was exhibited at a collective exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. One of his masterpieces, the "Table Magique" remains part of their permanent collection. He won the gold medal at the exposition for the Port-au-Prince bicentennial at the age of 18. He joined the Centre d'Art in 1947. He developed his own style of painting, instantly recognizable, featuring the Haitian mountains, skeletal trees, peasants and their huts, and voodoo symbolism in an almost surrealistic manner. Throughout the '60's '70's and '80's his work was exhibited in Europe, North America and Latin America. He died in 1996.
