The earthy grace and dignity of ordinary daily living.
 
Haitian artists seemed to constantly find a way to include the joyfulness of the people in their artistic presentation. Much of the credit for this genre goes to Montas Antoine who revolutionized the idea that joy was to be an essential part of the development of the artists. His Street with Flowers typified that essence with The joy of natural beauty! The joy of art! The unique approach of celebrating beauty in color and with a brush became a popular trend among the artists. Even Hyppolite, who was much more focused on celebrating dreams and legends of the voodoo, found time to paint still life and tributes to Haitian women. In the later generation of artists, great artists such as Prosper Pierre-Louis, Levoy Exil, and Louisiane Saint-Fleurant, would express joy in their painting by celebrating the spirits as symbols of joy.
 

Le Village
Etienne Chavannes was born in 1939 in Cap Haitien.

The most obvious thing he shares with his master (with whom he studied in Cap Haitien in 1967) is a keen interest in people and their activities.

The Pasture
In contrast to Obin, Chavannes concentrates mostly on the contemporary scene of his native town and prefers crowds of any kind to individuals.

He is little interested in perspective. A sense of humor adds warmth and life to his paintings.
