Jacques E. Gourgues
Trained at the "Centre d'Art" then at the "Foyer des Arts Plastiques" he
is without question one of the prominent figures of Haitian painting.
The technical expertise, acquired with time, reinforces, as needed, the
dazzling "brutality" of his first paintings. People and things pop out
of his works which belie a breathtaking virtuosity. Appreciated
everywhere, his works, more exhibited abroad than in Haiti, command very
high prices.
Port-au-Prince, 1931-1996
