Description
Pierre Joseph (Valcin)(Haitian/Port-au-Prince, 1925-2000)
Grande Brigitte, circa early 1970's
Oil on masonite, 24 x 24 inches
Framed: 32 1/2 x 32 inches
House of Heydenryk Frame
Lot Essay: Grande Brigitte 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.
