AN ORIGINAL HAITIAN PAINTING OF BAHAMA ISLANDS COUPLES<P>
An interesting and charming painting in acrylics on canvas of two couples in the Bahama Islands with pineapples and other fruit. The people are depicted in a kind of endearing abstract expressionistic way characteristic of the Bahamian culture. The unusual color palette is made up of shades of gray, pink and white. The piece is signed at the lower right by the well-know Haitian artist, 'Casimir', under which the artist has also written, 'Bahamas'. <p>The piece is unframed and stretched on improvised homemade scrap wood, as it is expensive and difficult for local artists to purchase finished art supplies in the islands. The overall condition of the painting is good, but there is some minor rubbing around the edges of the painting, which would be covered by an appropriate frame (see photos). Dimensions are 20.6" high by 23.5" wide.
