Breadfruit, Mango and Tomatoes by Gesner Armand
PARIS — Winter has been kind to art lovers in Paris. The gorgeously renovated Musée Picasso has reopened, and the city is alive with a number of top-shelf exhibitions. Over at the Grand Palais alone, crowds queue to see shows of Hokusai and Nikide Saint Phalle, but it is “Haiti: Two Centuries of Artistic Creation” that offers a particularly exciting feast of work to savor.

Gesner Armand was born in 1936 in Croix-des Bouquets. At a very young age he joined the Centre d' Art and exhibited there in 1959 after studying in Mexico City. Armand's work was an instant success. In 1961 the French government gave him a scholarship to study in Paris. A very popular Haitian painter, he has exhibited in Haiti, Mexico, the United States, Paris, Spain, Jamaica, Martinique, Venezuela, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, and Israel. Most of Armand's paintings are of peasant life, carnivals, and pigeons in an array of colors. His work reflects the strong love he has for his country, Haiti, where he currently lives and works.
He died in 2008.
