Wilson Bigaud (1931 - 2010) Haitian oil on canvas, signed lower right "White Label" or later style for the artist after he started to feel blind. Measures 24 x 48.5 inches w/ frame. Wilson Bigaud was a Haitian painter. Born in Port-au-Prince, Bigaud first worked with clay before becoming a painter.Characteristic of Bigaud's style is an emphasis on perspective and volume and an awareness of the effects of light and shadow. His color range was broad, although he rarely used pure, bright colors. Bigaud has continued to paint, but his work is no longer of high quality. The colors are now chalky and muddy. The themes have become more peaceful and subdued, awakening hopes for a recovery and a return to previous greatness.At the International Exhibit in Washington, D.C., in 1950 Bigaud won second place for a painting entitled "Paradise" Purchased from Rainbow Gallery in 1994.
