Monplaisir included 'Cap–Haitien' in his signature–bloc; and this is a scene typical of Le Cap artists who depict their generally beautiful hometown: it is rich and meticulous in detail.

 125. La Sirène, Agoué, and Their Family_ c1985 (24x32) |
Born in Gonaïves, Mompremier began painting in 1973 as a student of Gérard Valcin. I've seen many of his works in galleries: nearly all have been colorful vodou interpreta–tions, often with La Sirène, Agoué, or both. A superb artist, his works have been exhibited widely in the Caribbean, in Europe, and in the U.S. |

The
Haitian Tourist Agency commissioned Port–au–Prince native André
Normil to paint this work. I once had a fine original by Normil quite similar to the painting in this print. I sold it — and should not have.
