Grandeur, Elegance and Creativity Define Haitian Art
If you are someone who

read, heard about, or have surely come across Haitian art form. A quick search
on the Internet will leave you both surprised and awestruck with the popularity
and vividness of this art form. You will come across an array of paintings made
using a unique combination of original oil on canvas. Given the grandeur,
variety and the popularity of this art, it is no surprise when we see some
exclusive art of Haiti coming with big price tags too!
The island of Haiti was
under French colonization during early 1800s. This is the time when the art
form flourish within the island and hence you can see that a major part of
Haitian art form has been largely influenced by French and Voodoo culture.
During the era of French Colonization, a slave named Luc from Leogane was known
because of his unmatched talent and creativity in making Haitian paintings. In
1840, Emperor Soulouque founded the Imperial Academy of Arts.
Although Haitian
painting existed even during French colonization, it was only after the country
gained independence that the art form started gaining popularity. The major
milestone in raising the popularity of Haitian was achieved in 1943 by the
efforts of American schoolteacher DeWitt Peters. He was largely impressed by
the art, culture, and traditions he saw in Haiti and put in lot of efforts to
improve the conditions of the Haitian artists locally as well as to promote the
art on commercial level. He was the man behind Centred'Art in Port-au-Princethat
played a significant role in promoting Haitian art form to the entire
world.
Now art of Haiti is popular throughout the
world and people from every nook and corner wants to own one of these exclusive
pieces. Unfortunately, not everyone can fly to Haiti just to buy one of the
paintings. Thankfully, now websites like http://www.naderhaitianart.com/ have made it extremely
