Considered one of the Haitian Masters, Jacques Enguerrand Gourgue (1930-1996) was a prodigy at age 17. When the New York Museum of Modern Art bought his painting “Tableau Magique” for its permanent collection, Gourgue achieved rapid worldwide fame at an early age. Said to be the son of a Haitian mother, a voodoo mambo, and a French father, a psychiatrist, he painted in two basic styles, one rustic and pretend-naive, the other surrealist, with a brief phase of social realism in between. Gourgue split his later life between Haiti and Spain.

He writes, "One of the characteristics of this personality is strength. There is nothing in Limouse that lacks relief. This small and extremely vigorous man seduces by his direct and dru language, by his deep conviction, by the picturesque of his stories, by his very life which testifies to his energy.
In 1948, Roger Limouse was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (Professor at the School of Fine Arts). He held this position until 1964. In 1949, the journalist Gisèle d'Assailly (1904-1969) devoted a book "With the Painters of Poetic Reality" to eight friendly painters, supporters of a colorful and intimate figurative painting of French inspiration, Maurice Brianchon, Christian Caillard...
