Description: LISTED HAITIAN LAURENT CASIMIR ( 1928 – 1990 ) FINE LARGE ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING For your consideration this is a fine large vintage original oil painting on board of a market scene by well listed Haitian artist: Laurent Casimir (1928-1990) in a very good condition. It is in a original wooden frame. The piece is in the lower right and dated 67 by the artist. It is masterfully executed with fine and detailed brush work and use of delightful colors. Laurent Casimir (May 8, 1928 – 1990) was a Haitian artist. Casimir moved to Port-au-Prince in the late 1940s and is here presented to the Centre d'Art in 1947 by his friend, the painter Dieudonné Cedor. From 1950 to 1956 he attended the Foyer of Fine Arts, founded by a group of intellectuals and modern artists, including Cedor. Casimir was one of the originators of a Haitian archetype market painting, he painted using various shades of red, orange and yellow. His style has been often imitated, it is difficult to confirm the authenticity of the paintings that bear his name. In the mid-1970s he lived in Martissant where he would be selling his paintings from the front room, while in the back yard, a few of his apprentices would be painting and filling in the colours and the Casimir's canvases, all would later be signed by him. Known as the originator of Haitian market painting, Laurent Casimir composed bustling scenes packed with traders and shoppers. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Casimir attended Le Centre d’Art d’Haïti and then the Foyer des Arts Plastiques in Port-au-Prince. He learned from the first generation of Haitian masters there, including his friend Dieudonné Cédor, a prominent modern painter who co-founded the school. Casimir’s works are noted for their faux-naïf style and rich red, orange, and yellow hues. Though celebrated for his market scenes, Casimir also turned his attention to other outdoor events, particularly cockfights, capturing them with a dazzling, dizzying effect. In these crowded pictures, figures almost become abstracted by their sheer number. Casimir is represented in the Milwaukee Art Museum and Figge Art Museum collections. A large number of fakes of his works have impacted the artist’s market value.
