DESCRIPTION: Prefete Duffaut (Haiti, 1923-2012) original Acrylic on canvas. Born 1923 in Jacmel, Haiti and died 2012 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Prefete Duffaut started painting after an experience he had in a dream where a woman, who he believed was either the Virgin or his own wife, came to him and said, "Prefete, when you wake up in the morning I want you to start painting". His paintings vividly depict his dreams – which were of imaginary cities and boat-filled harbours in the bay of Jacmel – and reveal his poetic sense, mystical tendencies and broad imagination. Signed "Prefete Duffaut" bottom right.
