Description

The Crucifixion

Louines Mentor

Born in Haiti

Mentor's paintings usually depict Haitian daily life, which is the reason why this painting and "Scenes of Battle" are so unusual and fascinating. One is a dramatic depiction of the crucifixion of Christ, the other a striking rendition of battle scenes. And both are painted to resemble stained glass artworks. One of Mentor's later paintings, a rural scene, was chosen for the front and back covers of the March 1972 issue of the magazine, "Americas", a publication of the Organization of American States (OAS).
