Radiant Eggplant Still Life by Haitian Artist Calixte Henry, 1980 figurative whistle -- I think the design

-- I think the design of them is just terrific

and light crazing and little dark staining on the interior

Just a great little studio pottery vase

but the rainbow colored sun rising over a native woman with skis in hand is my favorite too

or to frame up a few together

Radiant Eggplant Still Life by Haitian Artist Calixte Henry, 1980 figurative whistle -- I think the designI didn't know of Calixte Henri (1933 2010) when I found this painting and also didn't know that a big radiant dose of pink and purple could feel so right! but have since learned that he was a widely recognized and well collected Haitian painter, considered one of the "masters" of Haitian art and there is fair bit on him out there. And no great surprise this painting feels very fresh, very confident, and very resolved. Born in 1933 in Port au Prince,
