JEAN DAVID BOURSIQUOT
Born near Jacmel in June 1949, Boursiquot moved to Port-au-Prince in 1971 and worked as a cashier. He was encouraged to paint by Philton Latortue, himself a well-known painter and a distant cousin. His works were very well received and he sold his first paintings in 1972 at the Centre d' Art in Port-au-Prince. His paintings are mostly scenes of rural life, depicting the lush and luxuriant vegetation of the Haitian countryside.
