Abelard is a 'first generation' artist, though not one of the more
celebrated. He's noted especially for cheerful Biblical scenes and intricate,
decorative canvasses. |
Aladin, Agathe (1970� )
Agathe is the daughter of Th�ard Aladin. She began painting only after
his death. Her style is derivative of her father's; some collectors like her
work better than his. |
Aladin, Th�ard (1925?�93)

A bricklayer much of his life, Th�ard began painting in
1971 following a disabling accident. He claimed
a vodou ('voodoo') goddess, in a dream, told him his future lay in art. The lwa
(or loa), in turn, may have been inspired by the fact that two of Th�ard's
distant cousins � Pr�f�te Duffaut and
Pauleus Vital � are among
the all�too�few Haitian painters who've made comfortable livings
from their art. |
