Description
Description
This powerful oil on board painting by Fritz Joseph depicts a vibrant Vodou ceremony filled with rhythmic drumming, ritual dance, and deeply expressive spiritual movement. The composition is animated with worshippers dressed in bright orange, gold, white, and blue garments, arranged in dense clusters that pulse with ceremonial energy. At the center, priestesses in white lead the ritual while drummers, dancers, and devotees form an encircling community of participants. Detailed elements such as ritual symbols on the ground, ceremonial objects, and the dramatic contrast between the crowd and the surrounding trees contribute to the work’s cultural authenticity. Set against rolling green hills and a distant village, the scene blends spiritual devotion with the iconic visual language of Haitian art. This significant work, held in a private collection in New York, will be shipped directly from the collector to the buyer. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase.
