About the Artist: PIERRE Fernand was born in 1919 in Carrefour, Haiti. Pierre was employed as an engraver and started selling small sculptures of dogs made of clay. In 1947 he was discovered by the Centre d'Art and became an early member. Over the years, he has developed a strong international following and has played an important role in formulating the Haitian Naive art school. Fernand Pierre is one of a handful of artists who painted the world-renowned murals of the St-Trinite Cathedral in P-a-P in 1951. His works are treasured by collectors all over the world. Permanent collection of the Waterloo Museum of Art in Iowa. He is best known for his naive paintings of animals which are clearly influenced by Rousseau but he also produced several works of trees bearing assorted fruit which appear to have religious references and are similar to works by other artists of the same period.
