Jacques Enguerrand Gourgue Art
Haitian, 1930-1996
Considered one of the Haitian masters, Jacques-Enguerrand Gourgue was a prodigy at the age of 17. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York 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 priestess and a French father, a psychiatrist, Gourgue 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.

A Port-au-Prince native, Gourgue began painting at an early age and eventually had his works exhibited throughout Europe and the Americas. His father was a French psychiatrist, and his mother said to be a Haitian vodou priestess. He typically painted scenes of rural Haitian life and vodou ceremonies. Gourgue, who had no formal training, often combined flowers, mountains, skeletal trees, peasants and their huts and vodou symbolism, in a personal style that managed to combine surrealism and naive art. "He is beyond dispute the leading figure in modern Haitian painting."
After a turbulent and troubled childhood, Gourgue came to Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince in 1947. The following year his painting "The Magic Table...
