Description

Jean-Claude Legagneur's Woman in Black Hat (1989) is a striking figurative portrait that shows his command of light, form, and expression. A poised woman emerges from a dark, atmospheric background, her confident gaze framed by an elaborate floral hat. The richly textured backdrop sets off the figure and gives the painting a sense of mystery and elegance, while its large scale gives it remarkable presence on the wall. Painted at the height of Legagneur's mature period, the work balances realism with sophistication in a refined palette. It reflects his lasting exploration of femininity, beauty, and identity, and is an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Haitian, Caribbean, and contemporary figurative art. Condition is good, consistent with its age. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with purchase.

About this artist

Haitian-born Jean-Claude Legagneur is a famous figurative master artist. His self-developed style combines a nuance of Impressionism, Pop Art, and Abstractionism. Legagneur painted the American Airlines Mural at JFK Airport and featured Haitian artists at Art Basel Miami in 2013.

"Legagneur's subtle painting displays a remarkable sense of color" (Gerald Alexis, art critic). His suggested relation between shade and light, the technique of distribution of colors, and the deterioration of the nuances confer to his canvases sweetness, harmony, serenity, and especially an elegance that recalls the big classics. His unmistakable preferred human figurative style does not limit him. Lately, he has developed a new production of oversized portraits that capture human expressions at their best.
