Description
A young dancer in a navy leotard and pink tutu falls asleep across a sofa, ballet slippers still on, while a striped tabby cat dozes nearby in Sleeping Ballerina with Cat by Haitian painter Jean-Claude Legagneur (b. 1947). A swirling green and blue coverlet, a coral striped cushion, and a cascade of blue curtain turn the quiet scene into a rich play of pattern and color. Tender and richly colored, it is a distinctive work of figurative Haitian art. Signed and dated 90 at lower right, the painting has Florida provenance and ships directly to the buyer from Florida. Condition is good, consistent with its age, and a certificate of authenticity is included.
About this artist
About this artist
Jean-Claude Legagneur (b. 1947) is a Haitian figurative painter born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Known for powerful and vividly colored compositions, his work often explores the struggles, resilience, and cultural vitality of the Haitian people. Legagneur developed a distinctive visual language that blends elements of Impressionism, Pop Art, and abstraction. He left Haiti to pursue formal artistic training in New York, studying at the Art Students League and the Brooklyn Museum School until 1974. Since then, his paintings have been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums across the Americas and Europe. Legagneur has received numerous honors, including recognition from New York Governor George Pataki, and was commissioned to create a 65-foot mural at John F. Kennedy International Airport. His work is held in major collections, including the Vatican, the Royal Palace of Spain, and the Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien. Today, Jean-Claude Legagneur remains an influential voice in contemporary Haitian art.
