André Pierre (Haitian, 1914-2005)

Self-taught, Haitian master painter André Pierre was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 1914 and passed away in 2005. He is considered one of Haiti's greatest artists and, as the pre-eminent painter of the Haitian spirits, the worthy successor of Hector Hyppolite. His artworks have been reproduced in many books on naive and religious art. He injects rhythms into his works through lines and colors, says Gérald Alexis in Peintres Haitiens. Get the Book "Peintres Haitiens" Now!
