HAITIAN ART |
Haiti, the poorest country in the Western world, has found its greatest natural resources in the creativity of its people! Haitian art, through its color and vivid imagery, is reflection of Haitian folklore and the Voodoo religion. Relying on their faith in Voodoo, Haitian artists have turned the problems of their nation into inspiration. The incredible ingenuity of the Haitian people is evidenced in every sculp[ture made from an old oil drum and in every painting rendered on an old scrap of cloth.Collected, exhibited, and written about all over the western world, Haitian art, in all of its diversity, continues to be an expression of the vivid humanity and mystery of the Haitian people. "The
work of Haitian self-taught artists portrays the whole kaleidoscope
of Haitian life and spirit with an unprecedented openness and honesty."
