Description
"Haitian Artwork by Artist Gerard Fortune"Gerard was born near where he spent the rest of his life, in Montagne Noire, above Petionville, Haiti. He worked as a pastry chef at a hotel, before beginning to paint in 1978. Gerard’s work has been exhibited internationally, is included in the permanent collections of Ramapo College, New Jersey and the Waterloo Museum of Art in Iowa. Fortune paints everything, “I’m obligated to paint vodou and Jesus and flowers and the sea. And villages and anything that comes to mind.” He is one of the most prolific and collectible painters in modern Haiti – recognized by connoisseurs of Haitian art in North American and Europe and respected by his peers at home. Fortune’s naïf renditions of everything from village scenes to vodou ceremonies to politics line collectors’ walls with bright renditions of daily life, including the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake that devastated much of Haiti.
