Born
in Gona�ves, Br�sil moved to the capital in 1973. His talent was quickly
recognized and gallery owners encouraged and subsidized his early work. He
received a UNESCO Prix d'Honneur in 1981 and exhibited widely outside Ha�ti � in the United States,
France, Italy, Switzerland, and Japan. |
A native of Port-au-Prince,
Bruny emigrated to the U S sometime in the 1970s. During his relatively
brief painting career, he worked at the gallery of Issa El-Saieh, one of
the foremost promoters of Haitian art. |
Cantave, Joseph (1963- )
The following is from Medalia (www.medalia.net/artistpage/CantaveJpre.html): Joseph Cantave was born in Haiti ... His work is popular in New England, where he currently resides and works. He apprenticed with the popular Italian Painter Anthony Gillepsi from 1983 to 1985 ... As a result, he developed a technically sophisticated impressionistic style, blending pigments to create colors that are multidimensional. He chooses to work with oils, rather than the acrylics favored by many of the artists today. His work can be found in art galleries and public libraries as well as private collections all over the United States. In addition, his work is also in many private collections in Canada, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, England, France, Haiti, Italy, Panama, Puerto Rico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, and Thailand. The artist also maintains his own site: www.josephcantave.net/home.html

In the
early 1970s, a painting much like this one appeared on the cover of the
Sunday New York Times Magazine. Casimir had earlier done similar
works, but also more traditional studies of everyday life. (For an
earlier Casimir, click the March� thumbnail, right.) |
