(Port-au-Prince, Haiti)
Sequins and beads on fabric (38” x 37 1/4”),
c.2008.
Ex. collection of Nancy Josephson.
This flag is extremely densely beaded and sequinned (and thus extremely heavy), in the manner of the artists Constant and Simeon.
The flag is published in the book Spirits in Sequins: Vodou Flags of Haiti by Nancy Josephson (p. 168).
Haiti
Indigo Arts Gallery celebrates the artistic genius and the indomitable spirit of the Haitian people, with a continually changing collection of Haitian paintings, masks, vodou flags, and sculpture.
We fell in love with the art and people of Haiti on our first visit thirty-one years ago. While our focus is on artists actively working today, we also have a stock of paintings from the 50's through the 90's that we have collected in Haiti over the years or acquired from estates and collections.
