ANDRE PIERRE
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 colours. Andre Pierre is considered the spiritual heir to the great Haitian painter, Hyppolite. Pierre's works are amongst the most sought-after by serious collectors of Haitian art.
