The painting exemplifies his mastery of color, form, and symbolism—hallmarks of his celebrated School of Beauty style.

About this artist
About this artist
Jean-René Jérôme (Haitian, 1942–1991) was one of Haiti’s most celebrated modern artists and a key figure in the School of Beauty. Known for his exploration of the human form, his art reflects harmony, sensuality, and inner strength. Trained at the School of Fine Arts, he worked across multiple disciplines including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, dance, theater, and voice. He exhibited internationally in Latin America, Brazil, Canada, Senegal, and Martinique, gaining recognition for his expressive use of color and emotion. His works are featured in major private and institutional collections, including a permanent exhibition at Musée d’Art Nader in Port-au-Prince. As noted by art historian Gérald Alexis in Peintres Haïtiens (Éditions Cercle d’Art, 2000), “Jérôme’s education led him to prefer form over content.” His philosophy and focus on the beauty of the female figure continue to inspire collectors and art lovers worldwide.
