Artists of Haiti

March 1 – April 11, 2010

The artistic heritage of Haiti and the Haitian diaspora is the focus of this exhibit.  Artists as diverse as Eduoard Duval-Carrié, Hector Hyppolite, Georges Liautaud, Ernst Prophéte, Seresier Louisjuste, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Mario Benjamin are featured.  The art library contains an array of resources that enable the study of Haitian painters, metal workers, muralists, and craftspeople working with textiles, sequins and vodou forms.
