Executed in acrylic on masonite and measuring 36 x 32 inches, the composition highlights the graceful silhouette of the figure balancing a basket of textiles within a quiet architectural setting. The restrained palette and sculptural treatment of the figure reflect Séjourné’s distinctive contribution to Haitian modern painting, where everyday life is elevated through calm geometry and poetic simplicity. The work is signed and dated “Bernard Séjourné 78” in the lower right corner and is offered unframed. Due to its age, the painting shows minor surface scratches; however, these are barely noticeable when the artwork is viewed as a whole, and a frame would easily conceal any slight edge imperfections. The price has been reduced accordingly to reflect the condition of the painting. The artwork comes from a private collection in Wilton, Connecticut, where it will be shipped directly from upon purchase. A certificate of authenticity will be issued by our gallery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernard 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.\u0026amp;nbsp;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.\u0026amp;nbsp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernard Sejourne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41237524414621,"sku":"SEJOURNE#1MF","price":79544.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9979\/9453\/files\/Bernard_Sejourne_36_x32_Fabric_Seller_with_Basket_1978_Acrylic_on_Board_Unframed_Painting_1MF.jpg?v=1772746992","url":"https:\/\/www.naderhaitianart.com\/en-hk\/products\/bernard-sejourne-1947-1994-36x32-fabric-seller-with-basket-1978-acrylic-on-masonite-1mf","provider":"Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
