Description
Seneque Obin (Haitian/Cap-Haitien, 1893-1977)
Still Life, circa 1959-1962
Oil on masonite, 15 x 16 inches
Framed dimensions: 16 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches
Lot Essay: Seneque, Philome Obin's younger brother, narrates Haiti's historical events, celebrations and social scenes with a decidedly vibrant color palette as a means to appeal to unexpected viewers and a way to challenge approaches to historical portraiture. Playfulness is possible even in scenes that would otherwise be weighted by an expected gravitas.
