Description
This original oil on board painting by Casimir Laurent, created around 1960, captures a bustling Haitian market scene full of life and movement. Women carry baskets of produce on their heads, a horse ambles through the crowd, and figures in vivid red, blue, and yellow gather around baskets of goods, all set against a backdrop of lush green mountains. Laurent's naive style shines through in the saturated color palette and the warmth of everyday village life he brings to the canvas. This vintage piece measures 22 x 36 inches, comes from a private collection in Arizona, and is in good condition consistent with its age. The painting will ship directly to the buyer from Arizona. A certificate of authenticity will be provided upon purchase.

His work belongs to the permanent collection of Haitian art of the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, IA, and the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, WI. His name is mentioned in major Haitian art books:“Laurent injects rhythm into densely populated market-places and carnivals by using the interplay of colors.” (Peintres Haitiens, Gérald Alexis, Editions Cercle d’Art, 2000)
