SINCE 1974

A Haitian Art Gallery

This is Room 57 B, Haitian Paintings by Madsen Mompremier

Madsen Mompremier was born in Gonaives, Haiti on August 12, 1952. In 1973 he started to paint as a student of Gerard Valcin. Originally, Mompremier painted delightful scenes of everyday Haitian life, peasants in their villages and cane fields. Around 1975 he found a style which he has now been refining for more than twenty years; painting Voudou gods with great majesty and precision. His favorite one is Erzulie, goddess of love in her incarnation as La Sirene. Coincidentally, he is married to a woman named Erzulie, who is also an artist.
