“Life and Spirituality in Haitian Art”

“Life and Spirituality in Haitian Art” features a selection of artworks from the Betty and Isaac Rudman Trust Collection, which celebrates the rich heritage of Haiti. By showcasing the works of masters like Hector Hyppolite, Louverture Poisson, and Rigaud Benoit next to their contemporaries and pupils—including names like Gerda Louizor, Célestin Faustin, Roland Palanquet, and Dieudonné Vital—curator Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig, Ph.D. successfully highlights an aesthetic that is quintessentially Haitian, born through a merging of techniques and cultures.
