Gerard Valcin Art
Haitian, 1925-1988
Gérard Valcin was born in Port-au-Prince in 1925 and died on May 15, 1988. A poor young man, his first job as a tile setter helped him support his painting until he could sell. Undoubtedly this job also influenced his art, as one can witness his tightly geometrical placement of figures, blades of grass, or trees in many of his paintings. He joined the Centre d'Art in 1950 and is considered one of the most significant of Haiti's second generations of artists, an icon. His frequently concerned with voodoo imagery flows from his rich imagination. He introduced Dewitt Peters, his half-brother, Pierre-Joseph Valcin, and his nephew Favrange Valcin (Valcin II). Gerard Valcin had formed several artists, such as Madsen Mompremier, Dieudonné Rouanez, and Louis Joseph. Today, Valcin's work is included in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Art Nader and Musee d'Art Haitien du College Saint Pierre in Port-au-Prince, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, and the Waterloo Museum of Art in Iowa. "Valcin has participated in most important exhibitions of naïve painting organized by Oto Bihalji-Mérin, museums of England, Germany, Zagreb, and Paris, and those organized by Mr. Georges S. Nader in Caracas, Santo Domingo, and New Jersey; he ranks in a good position in the book of Bihalji-Mérin entitled "Masters of Naïve Art" (Peintures Haitiennes, Editions Delroisse, VILO)to

"Abandoned by My Family in Chicago" Outsider Art in Acrylic on Canvas
Located in Soquel, CA
Surreal depiction of a figure walking though a city by Marshall Woodall (American, b. 1958). The cityscape is represented in outlines only, creating the impression of being lit up in neon lights at night. The figure walking through the scene is an outline, reminiscent of a walk sign. Throughout the piece, there are hidden faces in the buildings.
Signed, dated, and titled on verso along the stretcher: Marshall Woodall Aug 12/2019 'Abandoned by my family in Chicago'
Unframed, but the edges are painted for a frame-less display.
Canvas size: 16"H x 20"W
Marshall Woodall (b. 1958) was born in Oklahoma City, OK. Woodall’s fascination with art began at an early age. His life has been a journey into self-expression and storytelling through music, drawing, and painting. ‘‘I am off the wall and have an unusual imagination. I think about things that people don’t always think about or notice.’’ Self-taught but inspired by Gary Larson...
