Funeral with Mourners
Gerard Valcin
Born, 1925, Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Gerard Valcin was born in Port-au-Prince in 1925. As a young man he was a tile setter, a trade that influenced his art as evidenced by his symmetrical placement of figures, blades of grass or trees in many of his paintings. He joined the Centre d’Art in 1950, and is regarded as a primitve master. His work is generally concerned with vodou imagery.
He died on May 15, 1988.
