Haitian Painting on masonite by the artist Etienne Chavannes. The Painting is 12" x 16" and is unframed.

About the Artist: Etienne Chavannes was born on July 15, 1939 in Cap Hatien. In 1967 he went to Cap Haitien to study with Philome Obin. Within six months he realized that he was inspired by different forces than Obin, and left to develop his own style. ?I don't paint things as I see them with my eyes, but as I see them with my mind", he says. Nehemy Jean, a recognized painter, encouraged him and gave him some advice. Chavannes went back to Cap Haitien to refine his style. He joined the Centre d?art in 1971.

During the 1980's his reputation became international with Exhibits in Detroit, Paris, Belgium, Germany and the United States.

He paints in a descriptive brightly colored manner and usually prefers to depict crowds rather than individuals. He is well known for his scenes of everyday life, people and events.
