Description
Pierre Joseph (Valcin)
(Haitian/Port-au-Prince, 1925-2000)
Baron Samedi circa early 1970's
Oil on masonite, 24 x 24 in.
Framed
Provenance: Dr. Halvor & Astrid Jaeger Collection
Lot Essay: Baron Samedi wears sunglasses because the world above ground is too bright. The spirit world in Haitian Vodou is in the earth.
A naive master, Pierre-Joseph, Gerard Valcin's half brother, was a mechanic and mason before becoming a painter. He is renowned for dreamy contemplative portraiture that captures the movement of everyday actions, living spirits or loas (including the Gedes) and the flora and fauna that accompany them.
