Description

Titled Marie-Tottoir, this original Haitian painting by Nehemy Jean captures a woman in a bright yellow dress leaning against a doorway, her head tilted and one hand resting at her waist, white shoes set on a red tiled floor. Bands of turquoise, cobalt blue, and deep brown frame her, and the thick, sculpted brushwork gives the dress and skin an almost embossed surface. The pose is relaxed and self-possessed, a quiet moment of style and poise. The work is signed and dated 1991 lower left. It comes from the private collection of Myriam F. Nader and was exhibited in Diaspora Calling! at Kings Theatre in 2016 with Ms. Lauryn Hill. Condition is good, consistent with its age. We will provide a Certificate of Authenticity.

About this artist


Néhémy Jean, known as Nehemy, was born in 1931 and died in 2007. Well-educated at the Teacher Training School, the Beaubrun Ardouin College, and Lycee Alexandre Petion, he joined the Centre d'Art in 1947 under the auspices of Dieudonne Cédor. He was one of the Foyer des Arts Plastiques Gallery's founding members, where fifty members seceded from the Centre d'Art in 1950. He improved his pictorial techniques under V. Pierre-Noel and Georges Ramponeau and his portraiture under R. Brackman and B. Klonis in N.Y.C. He returned to Haiti to help found the Brochette Art Gallery and later his own L'Atelier Gallery. He painted scenes at the Haiti airport, El Rancho, and Choucoune Hotels. He has exhibited in the U.S., Europe, and the Surinam. His art hangs in many private collections. (Biographical info from Haiti Voodoo Kingdom to Modern Riviera by John Allen Franciscus) Nehemy Jeans' art is referred to in all significant Haitian art books. He also was an art teacher.
