This monumental oil on canvas by Jean-Claude Blanc is a masterful depiction of a bustling Haitian marketplace, alive with movement, color, and cultural richness. Dozens of vendors and buyers fill the composition, carrying baskets overflowing with tropical fruits, vegetables, and goods. Dressed in vivid attire of blues, yellows, reds, and purples, the figures are arranged in Blanc’s signature rhythmic repetition, creating a vibrant tapestry of daily life. In the background, rolling hills, village huts, and a spirited procession of drummers and flag bearers add depth and narrative to the scene. The artwork is sold unframed and in good condition.
