Jasmin Joseph, one of the first generation giants, is likely the most versatile of that small very talented group that essentially began it all. Jasmin Joseph was born in Grande River du Nord in 1924. As a young man, he worked in a brick factory. In 1948, Jason Seley, a famed American sculptor teaching at the Centre d'Art brought some work to the brick factory to be fired. When Jasmin saw the sculptures, he was inspired to try some of his own. Seley was so impressed with Jasmin's work that he brought him to the Centre d'Art . Jasmin is known for his "Stations of the Cross" and the "Apostles Gallery" at the Ste. Trinité Episcopal Cathedral. In 1950, Jasmin turned from sculpting to painting. His painting career, as opposed to his artist career as a whole, has evolved through several stages. He is a very Christian artist and this painting shows the influence of this on his work, but you can also see the allegorical part of his work coming through even now in this 1968 masterpiece. This painting titled "The Gospel" is an important early work of a great master who is true primitive naive painter. This oil on Board painting is 61 3/4 inches by 13 1/4 inches. It is signed and dated Jasmin Joseph 1968 on left lower. This piece was acquired directly from the private collection of Paul Neuman the cartoonist in May 1991 by the previous collectors. Paul had purchased the painting from the Centre d'Art in Port au Prince about 1968 or 1969.
