| Salnave Philippe-Auguste was born in Saint-Marc, Haiti in 1908 and died some years
ago. A self-educated lawyer, he did not begin to paint until he was fifty years old
in 1958. In 1960 he joined the Centre d'Art and created in his art a personal universe
where animals from Africa and human beings lived together in a fantastic countryside,
representing a version of Haiti's ecological "paradise lost." The artist
employs vivid colors and makes striking use of flat surface textures. His paintings
are dominated by the female figure, often with winged female nudes. The painting
below, with a single fantastic tree, is unusual in this regard. He is an "old
master" of Haitian painting, whose art has been sought after by collectors for
many decades. |
