Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

Gerald Bruny

About the Artist

(often signed Bruny Gerald) Gerald Bruny was born in Port-au-Prince on June 1, 1955. He started painting at the age of sixteen, inspired by the great "primitive", Montas Antoine. He was an active painter in Haiti in the 1970's, showing at the Galerie Issa, among other places. He was known for story lines alternately dark and humorous, and his dramatic, chiarascuro lighting. He emigrated to the United States in the late 1970's or early 1980's. Whether he continued painting there is not clear, but he did exhibit in the US on several occasions. According to his sister, Bruny died in 1986.
