Description
Description
The Haitian artist Raoul Viard signed this intimate landscape portraying a rustic dwelling nestled within a lush, forested setting, with a winding river guiding the viewer’s gaze through the composition. Executed with bold impasto and gestural brushwork, the painting exemplifies Viard’s distinctive style—rooted in impressionistic luminosity yet charged with expressionist energy. Rich greens and blues dominate, punctuated by earthy browns and flashes of warm light, creating both depth and atmosphere. The work is in good condition, sold unframed, from a private collection in New York, where it will be shipped. A certificate of authenticity will be issued upon purchase.

He has been exhibited locally and in the US, where his work was chosen by the Haitian government to inaugurate the World Health Organization in Washington, DC.
