Description
This original 12" × 12" acrylic on canvas by Jean-René Jérôme (1942-1991) is a beautiful example of the elegant, dreamlike style that established him as one of Haiti's most celebrated modern artists. Signed and dated 1989 by the artist, this original Haitian painting portrays a contemplative female figure emerging from a tranquil coastal landscape, accompanied by boats and a distant ethereal figure. Jérôme's graceful, sculptural forms, soft pastel palette, and poetic atmosphere embody the lyrical vision that has made his paintings highly sought after by collectors of Haitian and Caribbean art. Painted during the artist's mature period, Dreamlike Woman exemplifies Jérôme's distinctive fusion of Haitian modernism and poetic symbolism. The harmonious composition, luminous light, and fluid treatment of the figure blur the boundary between reality and imagination, creating a timeless meditation on beauty, serenity, and the enduring allure of Haiti's coastline. From a private collection in Florida, where it will be shipped, this signed and dated 1989 painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery. Combining strong provenance, a desirable date, and the artist's iconic dreamlike aesthetic, it is an outstanding addition to any collection of original Haitian art, Caribbean modern art, or twentieth-century Latin American and Caribbean painting.
About this artist
About this artist
Jean-René Jérôme (Haitian, 1942–1991) was one of Haiti’s most celebrated modern artists and a key figure in the School of Beauty. Known for his exploration of the human form, his art reflects harmony, sensuality, and inner strength. Trained at the School of Fine Arts, he worked across multiple disciplines including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, dance, theater, and voice. He exhibited internationally in Latin America, Brazil, Canada, Senegal, and Martinique, gaining recognition for his expressive use of color and emotion. His works are featured in major private and institutional collections, including a permanent exhibition at Musée d’Art Nader in Port-au-Prince. As noted by art historian Gérald Alexis in Peintres Haïtiens (Éditions Cercle d’Art, 2000), “Jérôme’s education led him to prefer form over content.” His philosophy and focus on the beauty of the female figure continue to inspire collectors and art lovers worldwide.
