1962 Haitian Artist Raoul Dupoux Signed & Dated this truly masterful Harbor Scene. Original Oil on stretched canvas. Simple subject and composition but very nuanced. The water, the sky, the sails, the boat hulls, everything shimmers with gentle motion. Reminds one of the fabulous Early and Mid 20th Century New England Harbor scenes. I would say Rustic meets French School, stylewise. Canvas measures 24 X 32 and is in Good to Very good condition. He started designing at the age of seven, while in school, with the guidance of his mother, a watercolor artist. He then used oils with his uncle, Alain Clerir, an artist and a great Haitian music composer. He then studied at the Universal School of Paris. A religious man, Dupoux joined the Congregation of Brothers of Christian Instructions where he spent seven years. He continued his studies in art with the famous religious artist Marcel George. Dupoux was obliged to leave the institute when his father became ill. When the Centre d’Art found out about his talent, they called him to have an exhibit with Maurice Borno. Other exhibitions abroad received acclamation for his watercolors and his pen and ink drawings. Immediately after, Professor Montagutelli called upon Dupoux to offer him the position of professor at the Academie des Beaux Arts. Dupoux died in Port-au-Prince on January 25, 1988.
