About Haitian Art
|
The arts are the soul of Haiti, for both beauty and ugliness can be reflected in one painting. Haitian paintings define
the cultural creativity and a struggle to survive with the pride and joy of the Haitian people. It is also a source that brings to life some of the past as well
as contemporary problems of the country. This is all done throught the vivid pictures and images of Haitian Art.
|
Sense of Joy
|
One of the components of Haitian paintings is the joy that is depicted. This is a great paradox. Despite the misery and poverty, Haitian artists seemed to
constantly find a way to include the joyfulness of the people in their artistic presentation. The unique approach of celebrating beauty in color and with
a brush through "still lifes", tributes to Haitian women and the spirits, became a popular trend among the artists.
|
Vodou Fascination
|
To understand Haiti is to understand Vodou -- a religion, a national memory bank and a way of grappling with current social problems, all wrapped up into one.
The roots of Vodou are as diverse and mixed as the people of Haiti. This fact underscores the "bricolage" nature of the entire culture. Cultural memories of
black Africa from Fon/Yoruba and Kongo peoples, parts of Roman Catholicism, Freemasonry and other European spiritist traditions, French dance and military
traditions, possible Amerindian survivals, and American culture and commerce swirl in a melange that is constantly being reworked theatrically in Vodou
temples scattered throughout the country. Because Haiti is 65-70 percent illiterate with most citizens living in poverty or close to it, its cultural glue
comes not from books but from the physically shared rituals and well-developed symbols of Vodou.

"Those of you who have been there know that it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
It has everything....It is an amazing place.
I strongly recommend whenever you get a chance, that you go to Haiti.
I think it was a certain Queen of England who said that after her death, Calais would be found written
on her heart. When I die, I think that 'Haiti' is going to be found written on my heart."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
(State dinner October 14, 1943 -The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1943, page 430; 1950)
