This delightful oil painting by Alexandre Grégoire portrays a circle of vibrantly colored birds gathered around a traditional Haitian drum. Painted in his signature naïve style, the work exudes rhythm, balance, and joy, capturing the spirit of Haiti’s musical and communal traditions. The warm palette of reds, yellows, and blues enhances the lively harmony of the composition, reflecting Grégoire’s playful yet orderly approach to form and movement.
From a private collector in Connecticut, this painting will be shipped unframed directly from the collector. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase.
About this artist
About this artist
Alexandre Grégoire was born in Jacmel, Haiti on August 29, 1922, and died in 2001. He typically depicted Vodou's scenes, daily life, and historical events in the naïve style. Grégoire was educated from 1930 to 1937 by the Christian Teaching Brothers and then studied cabinet making at the Jacmel vocational school for two years. In 1939 he joined the army and played the tuba and saxophone in the army band. He stayed in the military until the 1950s; during Paul Magloire's presidency, he left the army and joined the National Palace band. In 1968, with the encouragement of his friends Préfète Duffaut and Pierre-Joseph Valcin and the Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince, Grégoire began painting.
