Faceless people art is a distinctive Dominican painting style that features human figures-often women-without facial features. These figures are usually dressed in traditional Caribbean clothing and depicted in everyday scenes such as farming, carrying baskets, or dancing. The absence of facial details symbolizes universality, anonymity, and cultural identity, allowing viewers to imagine themselves in the artwork and emphasizing shared cultural experiences over individual identity. This art form reflects themes of community, simplicity, and national pride, and it’s widely seen in Dominican homes, markets, and galleries. It’s a visual celebration of Dominican life and heritage, conveyed through bright colors, expressive posture, and detailed backgrounds.

DIMENSIONS: H: 26 W. CONDITION: Good condition with wear and age as pictured. Purvis Young was a self-taught African-American artist known for his expressive collages and paintings. Made on found objects, including scrap metal, book pages, and discarded envelopes, his richly colored depictions of trucks, figures, and coil-shaped abstractions, described a fraught yet inspired experience of living in the poverty stricken Overtown neighborhood of Miami. “What I say is the world is getting worser, guys pushing buggies, street people not having no jobs here in Miami, drugs kill the young, and church people riding around in luxury cars, ” he once remarked. Born on February 4, 1943 in Liberty City, FL, he learned to draw from his uncle at a young age but never had any formal art training. Years after his release, Young’s creative output attracted the attention of Bernard Davis, the owner of the Miami Art Museum. Davis subsequently brought the artist’s work into the public eye, and by the 1970s, tourists and collectors regularly visited Young in Goodbread Alley where he lived and worked. Inspired by books on Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, El Greco, and Paul Gauguin, as well as documentaries on American history, Young’s work grew in scope and formal invention throughout the latter part of his career. The artist died on April 20, 2010 in Miami, FL. Today, his works are held in the collections of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the American Folk Art Museum in New York, and the de Young Museum of Art in San Francisco, among others. According to Art in America In interviews, he [Young] often referred to his work as a form of protest art, and among the twenty major paintings at Salon 94 were several that portrayed crowds of people demonstrating in the streets. Each panel in the diptych Untitled (Protesters), ca. 1990s, features a group of schematic figures outlined in black. On the left hand panel, two central figures are shown with their arms raised in the air; depicted below the crowd is a row of tenement buildings. In both panels, the subjects seem to vibrate in ethereal spaces-fiery red on the left and primarily greenish on the right-as is typical in Young’s work.

Please look at my other items. The estate was well traveled and original works. In my research of the artist “Laurent Casimir”, I learned that he had many students also painting with him. Please see all the pictures. I have included pictures of another piece that was listed as original with the same signature.

9″ tall x 11.75″ long x 1/2 thick. There is a date on the back of 1923. The frame is in rough shape… Taped together & falling apart. Glass front to frame present. I have NOT removed the picture from the frame, did not want to damage it further. The picture is either hand drawn, OR oil painting or similar. No name /artist signature… Does resemble ERNST HUBER VILLAGE IN WINTER WATERCOLOR ON PAPER?? The frame & picture/painting has water damage, & are both in serious need of assistance. I woukd Love this to find a new home where it can be salvaged, loved, adored, & brought back to its former glory.
