Philomé Obin, (1892-1986 Haitian), "2e et 3e Bureaux de Vote aux Elections de 1957 au Cap-Haitien," 1958, Oil on masonite, 24" H x 30"
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Philomé Obin (1892-1986 Haitian) "2e et 3e Bureaux de Vote aux Elections de 1957 au Cap-Haitien," 1958 Oil on masonite Signed, inscribed and dated lower right: Ph. Obin / Cap-Haitien, titled lower center 24" H x 30" W Notes: Philomé Obin was a painter who, like many artists in the Cap-Haitien school, favored scenes of Haitian history and everyday life. He chose as his subject for this work recent history, the fateful 1957 election that saw the rise of François "Papa Doc" Duvalier, which consequently would be the last free election for Haiti until the overthrow of Duvalier's son in 1986. Like the artist, Duvalier was profoundly affected by the occupation of Haiti by the American Military from 1915-1934, hardening him against both the occupation and the elites who ran Haiti at the time. His candidacy in 1957 toppled the opposition and won him the presidency in a landslide victory. After a failed coup in July 1958, Duvalier would consolidate his power more and more and descend the country into a totalitarian regime that would engulf Haiti for nearly thirty years. The warm earthy colors and flattened perspective rendered in Obin's quintessential style lends optimism to the scene. Along with the City Hall, Cap-Haitien's famous mountains and bright blue sky anchor the setting to the city. The crowds of voters waiting patiently in line, likely to cast their vote for Duvalier, are a colorful mix of men and women in bright clothing. Unlike the abstract Voudou-influenced Sainte-Soleil school, Cap-Haitien practitioners are rooted in the rich history and everyday life of this historic city, Obin's slice-of-life painting of this pivotal moment in Haitian history remarkable captures both.

Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Philome Obin (Haitian, 1892-1986), "Une noce de paysans à Plaisance", oil on masonite, signed and inscribed "Cap-Haïtien" lower right, titled lower center, 16 in. x 20 in., framed. Note: Philome Obin was a painter and muralist working in a naive, folk-art style who depicted street scenes, Haitian history, allegorical themes, native figures and genre scenes within his large body of work. Obin is credited as largely responsible for the flowering of Haitian Art since 1945, and he is described by some critics as "the greatest of all Haitian artists."Obin tried to emulate French classicism in his draftsmanship, resulting in what the critic Selden Rodman referred to as "magical-pseudo realism." Obin's style was considerably more subtle than his contemporaries, but one that influenced all northern Haitian artists since he first became a noticed painter in the 1940s. The painting offered here is a scene of a country wedding, evidencing the artist's subtle use of color to capture the quiet dignity of his countrymen through the his own unique sense of perspective.
