Joseph, Jasmin 1923 Jasmin Joseph was born in Grande-Rivière in northern Haiti. At a young age he left his hometown for Port-au-Prince in search of work. He ended up working in a brick factory. Immediately he gained an interest in handling clay. He began sculpting during his free time. He modeled human and animal forms which he brought to the "Centre d'Art" where he received encouraging support. His sculptures can still be seen today in the Holy Trinity Episcopalian Church in Port-au-Prince along with the frescos of Bigaud, Bazile and Obin . Painting soon became his other passion and he is now considered as one of Haiti's major artists. His art is filled with fantastical animals in an imaginary world. |
