Audes Saül
Audes Saül (born 25 May 1949) is a Haitian painter. Biography Saül was born in Bombardopolis, in the Northwest of Haiti. Prior to his artistic career, Saül worked as a laborer, carpenter and electrician. Self-taught, he began painting full-time at the age of 21, influenced by his older brother, Charles (born 1943), who had taken up painting a few years prior. In 1971, Charles joined the Galerie Issa in Port-au-Prince. Shortly after, Audes followed suit, and worked exclusively for the gallery until the death of its founder, Issa El-Saieh, in 2005. Audes began by painting rural, sometimes mystical scenes, but quickly discovered his favorite subject and his own style. In bright colors, surrounded by vegetation, fruits, and vegetables, he paints dogs – where others would depict humans – at the beach, on boats, or in wedding attire. He also paints still lives and other subjects, infusing them with humor and optimism. In 1975, several of his paintings were selected by ...

Naïve Painters
Naivety (also spelled naïvety), naiveness, or naïveté is the state of being naive. It refers to an apparent or actual lack of experience and sophistication, often describing a neglect of pragmatism in favor of moral idealism. A ''naïve'' may be called a ''naïf''. Etymology In its early use, the word ''naïve'' meant "natural or innocent", and did not connote ineptitude. As a French adjective, it is spelled ''naïve'', for feminine nouns, and ''naïf'', for masculine nouns. As a French noun, it is spelled ''naïveté''. It is sometimes spelled "naïve" with a diaeresis, but as an unitalicized English word, "naive" is now the more usual spelling. "naïf" often represents the French masculine, but has a secondary meaning as an artistic style. "Naïve" is pronounced as two syllables, in the French manner, and with the stress on the second one. Culture The naïf appears as a cultural type in two main forms. On the one hand, there is 'the satirical naïf, such as Candide'. ...

Artists From Port-au-Prince
An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating the work of art. The most common usage (in both everyday speech and academic discourse) refers to a practitioner in the visual arts only. However, the term is also often used in the entertainment business to refer to actors, musicians, singers, dancers and other performers, in which they are known as ''Artiste'' instead. ''Artiste'' (French) is a variant used in English in this context, but this use has become rare. The use of the term "artist" to describe writers is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts such as critics' reviews; "author" is generally used instead. Dictionary definitions The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' defines the older, broader meanings of the word "artist": * A learned person or Master of Arts * One who pursues a practical science, traditionally medicine, astrology, alchemy, chemistry * A follower of a pursuit in which skill ...
