Description
This painting depicts a fabric seller viewed from the back. It measures 36" x 32" and is an acrylic work on masonite, signed and dated "Bernard Sejourne 78" in the lower right corner. The artwork is sold unframed. Due to its age, the painting has some scratches, but these are barely noticeable when viewed as a whole. A frame would cover the imperfections on the sides. It comes from a private collection in Wilton, CT, where it will be shipped from. The gallery will provide a certificate of authenticity upon purchase.
About this artist
About this artist
Bernard Séjourné (1947–1994) was a Haitian painter and sculptor born in Port-au-Prince and a leading figure of the School of Beauty, a movement celebrating women as symbols of elegance and grace. His refined Haitian paintings often depict graceful female figures and flowers rendered with fluid lines and harmonious color. Working primarily with acrylic on large Masonite panels, Séjourné created compositions that balance cool tonalities with vibrant tropical hues, giving his work rhythm and movement. Art historian Gérald Alexis noted in Peintres Haïtiens(2000) that Séjourné’s mastery of space and volume produces works approaching abstraction. His paintings were exhibited internationally, including the Festival of Black Art in Dakar (1966) and Expo 67 in Montreal, and remain highly sought after by collectors of modern Haitian art.
