Pierre, Andre 1916- Andre Pierre was born in Port-au-Prince in 1916. From an early age, he was drawn to Voodoo, and he later became a Voodoo priest. He initially illustrated his beliefs by painting on the inside of -gourds-, which are used in Voodoo ceremonies and usually contain the blood of sacrificed animals or other offerings to the loas. His paintings are often highly-detailed, and painted in bright and vivid colors. Andre Pierre is considered the spiritual heir to the great Haitian painter, Hyppolite. Pierre is one of Haiti's greatest painters, and his works are highly-valued among collectors of Haitian art. |
