Haitian Painting oil on Canvas by the artist Henry Thezume. The Painting is 24" x 30" and is unframed.

About the Artist: Henry Thezume is from the Cap Haitian School which is very different from most Haitian art in that it focuses almost exclusively on history, architectural interiors and exteriors using reasonably accurate and linear attempts at capturing Haitian life. The Cap Haitian School rejects voodoo and most spirituality. Instead it emphasized realty. Henri Thezume was a master at capturing everyday Haitian life. Although a self-taught artist, he was very methodical in crating his canvases and as a result, the viewer has a sense of being there and being part of the scenes he depicted. They are often times stark scenes of medical clinics, hospital wards, etc. But he also captured children learning and people having fun as well as working. His interior paintings are often dark compared to typical Haitian art where people are always dressed in brightly colored clothes. But if you look at a window to the outside, the florals are always bright and the sun is always shining ... Haiti peeping through. One of the unique characteristics of Thezume's paintings is the unusual "hallmark" he created and used as part of his signature ... he drew a short staircase below his signature on each painting. When asked about the staircases, he said that each painting brought him nearer Heaven.
