Resilient Visions: Haitian Art
April 25 - November 13, 2018
Harn Museum of Art
This exhibition provides a glimpse of the wide diversity of genres, media and inspirations of Haitian art from 1969 to the first decade of the 21st century. Within this variety, it reveals a common vision shared by an array of Haitian artists. Resilient Visions includes images of everyday life and historical scenes from artists who were labeled as Indigénistes for their representations of local subjects, and as primitivists for their lack of academic training. Also represented is a work by a Haitian artist who studied in France and embraced modernism and abstraction, and later social realism. Other works seen here were created for the worship of Vodou spirits, or loa.
