Three young men gather around a green felt table beneath a low hanging lamp. One leans into his shot, another watches with a cigarette at his lips, and a third waits his turn in a green hat. Bottles, a wall clock, and a potted plant fill the muted rose and olive interior, while the lamp’s glow cuts a pale wedge through the room. The layered setting and restrained palette make it a strong example of his figurative Haitian painting. Signed and dated 92 at lower right, the painting has Florida provenance and ships directly to the buyer from Florida. Condition is good, consistent with its age, and a certificate of authenticity is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean-Claude Legagneur (b. 1947) is a Haitian figurative painter born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Known for powerful and vividly colored compositions, his work often explores the struggles, resilience, and cultural vitality of the Haitian people. Legagneur developed a distinctive visual language that blends elements of Impressionism, Pop Art, and abstraction. He left Haiti to pursue formal artistic training in New York, studying at the Art Students League and the Brooklyn Museum School until 1974. Since then, his paintings have been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums across the Americas and Europe. Legagneur has received numerous honors, including recognition from New York Governor George Pataki, and was commissioned to create a 65-foot mural at John F. Kennedy International Airport. His work is held in major collections, including the Vatican, the Royal Palace of Spain, and the Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien. Today, Jean-Claude Legagneur remains an influential voice in contemporary Haitian art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Claude Legagneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68375149707507,"sku":"LEGAGNEUR#1TP","price":27069.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9979\/9453\/files\/Legagneur_Pool-Players_1992_front_0bebcb74-07ea-4747-a426-4efb37c596f5.jpg?v=1793754731","url":"https:\/\/www.naderhaitianart.com\/en-nl\/products\/jean-claude-legagneur-pool-players-1992-haitian-painting","provider":"Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
