    Artist from Haiti - Roger Francois
    (1928 - 2013)
    Roger Francois was born in Petite Riviere, Haiti in October 1928.
    He started out as a wood sculptor but by the early sixties he added painting as a means of
    artistic expression,
    continuing to carve occasionally for many years.
    His rich and varied canvases most often portraying Haitian women are reminiscent of his
    early work in sculpture.
    His subjects, women, animals, owls, market women and his "sun and moon faces" are bold,
    intensely colored, and dramatic.
    He also
    painted voodoo scenes with surreal overtones.
    He had known international acclaim; the Brussels Museum has had a permanent exhibition since 1963 and
    his paintings have also been shown in the
    Unit
    ed States,
    France and Germany. Roger Francois died in 2013
    This UNIQUE art piece shows a tall woman holding a chicken,
    one of Roger Francois typical subjects.
