Description
Seneque Obin (Haitian/Cap-Haitien, 1893-1977)
Huntsman shooting Fowl with two Dogs, circa 1960's
Oil on masonite, 20 1/8 x 24 inches
Framed dimensions: 26 3/4 x 31 inches
Provenance:
Queensland Art Gallery, Australia; Oscar Edwards, Australia
Jonathan Demme (Oscar wining director)
Acquired from the above by present owner
Lot Essay: Seneque, Philome Obin's younger brother, narrates Haiti's historical events, celebrations and social scenes with a decidedly vibrant color palette. As he challenges approaches to historical portraiture and nature paintings, Seneque's art elicits an unexpected and surprising appeal. Even in scenes that would otherwise be weighted by an expected gravitas, playfulness is possible.
