A Peaceable Kingdom Haiti - Une Savane

Creator: Philome Obin
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
After Hector Hyppolite, Philomé Obin may be Haiti's most significant painter.
In the present work, Philomé Obin creates an all-over pattern of harmoniously spaced elements with no central point of focus. There is a balance and proportionality to the pictorial elements, vegetable, animal, and mineral, that project a feeling of peaceful coexistence and hence the comparison to a Peaceable Kingdom theme.
