Description
This original 16"x12" oil on canvas by Haitian impressionist painter Fritz Louizor (1949–1984) captures a lively marketplace scene filled with figures engaged in the rhythm of daily trade. Women in colorful attire gather around baskets of produce, their gestures and stances animated with warmth and authenticity. Louizor’s use of palette knife impasto creates texture and light, turning an ordinary village day into a symphony of color and movement. A graduate of the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince, Louizor developed a distinctive impressionist style under the guidance of his brother, Ernst Louizor. His paintings celebrate the dignity and harmony of Haitian life, rendered with emotion and painterly precision. This artwork comes from a prestigious private collection in the Dominican Republic and remains unframed and in excellent condition. Upon purchase, Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery will issue a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). A classic example of Louizor’s mastery, Market Day reflects his love for community and his enduring contribution to modern Haitian art.

About this artist
Fritz Louizor (Haitian, 1949–1984) was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and became one of the most talented impressionist painters of his generation. The younger brother of the renowned artist Ernst Louizor, Fritz shared a lifelong dedication to portraying the vibrancy of Haitian life through light, color, and texture. After attending Lycée Toussaint Louverture High School, Louizor pursued his passion for art at the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s most influential art institution. He later studied and worked alongside his brother, developing a refined impressionist style characterized by palette knife techniques, rich impasto, and radiant tonal harmony. Fritz Louizor’s paintings often depict rural and urban scenes filled with movement and atmosphere—marketplaces, riverbanks, and village life painted with poetic warmth and elegance. Though his life was tragically cut short, his legacy endures through his expressive depictions of Haiti’s beauty and humanity.
