Birds of a Feather, Pierre Joseph-Valcin (1925–2000, active 1960s–2000)

The Mary Lou Vansant Hughes Collection of Haitian Art includes works by the first and second generation of artists whose continuing creative evolution is often associated with the founding of Port-au-Prince’s Centre d’Art in 1944. The Centre d’Art was founded by DeWitt Peters, an American conscientious objector who had originally come to Haiti to teach English as an alternative to military service.
