Description
Seneque Obin (Haitian/Cap-Haitien, 1893-1977)
Don Don, circa 1960-1965
Oil on masonite, 20 x 24 inches
Framed dimensions: 23 3/4 x 27 3/4 inches
Lot Essay: Seneque, Philome Obin's younger brother, narrates Haiti's historical events, celebrations and social scenes with a decidedly vibrant color palette as a means to appeal to unexpected viewers and a way to challenge approaches to historical portraiture. Playfulness is possible even in scenes that would otherwise be weighted by an expected gravitas.
