It is signed lower left G. Auguste and is in very good, clean stable condition. Georges Auguste Haitian, b. 1933 is known for his vibrant, colorful scenes of rural Haitian life in a style known locally as Raw Art. Born in Vialet, Petit-Goave, Haiti, Auguste received only three years of schooling in his native village before losing his mother died in a fire at their home. He was placed in an orphanage where he learned textile weaving. During a trip to Port-au-Prince as an adult, Georges secured a position as night watchman at the Center dArt and began to paint using materials discarded by the artists at the Center. For ten years he studied with the painter Nehemy Jean, and now paints scenes of Haitian life, the way he “sees it in dream”.
