Vase of Flowers is a radiant example of his gift for color and symbolism, a vessel overflowing with blossoms rendered in the bold, instinctive style that made his paintings unmistakable. Painted in oil on carton circa 1946, the work has spent decades in the collection of the Foundation Marie \u0026amp; Georges S. Nader, later passing into the Nader family collection. The painting survived the 2010 Haiti earthquake and was subsequently restored by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Its significance has been recognized across the literature on Haitian art, with the piece appearing in six major publications, including Mystical Imagination: The Art of Haitian Master Hector Hyppolite and Gérald Alexis's Peintres Haïtiens. We will provide a Certificate of Authenticity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \"An unchallenged master of Haitian popular painting, Hyppolite's work is realistic, largely based on his imagination.\" \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.naderhaitianart.com\/haarlespehab.html\"\u003eGet the Book Peintres Haitiens Here\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt his death in 1948, Hyppolite was recognized as Haiti’s foremost painter.

Born into a family of voodoo priests, Hyppolite did not start to paint until late. Hyppolite traveled to New York, Cuba, Dahomey, and Ethiopia during World War I before returning to St. Mark in 1920. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough by trade a shoemaker, house painter, and sometimes voodoo priest, Hyppolite painted postcards for American marines visiting Haiti. His painted architectural decorations in St. Mark brought him to the attention of DeWitt Peters, founder and Director of the Centre D’Art. With DeWitt’s encouragement, Hyppolite moved to Port-au-Prince and devoted himself to painting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing chicken feathers, fingers, and brushes, Hyppolite produced a work of remarkable richness and complexity.
