Radiant Eggplant Still Life by Haitian Artist Calixte Henry, 1980 pyramids one needs to leave it

one needs to leave it a bit less than tight for the images to line up

and a front latch that closes tight and could hold a small lock

transcending its toy-hood to enter the realm of pure sculpture

in half case 3 1/4" x 3 3/4

Radiant Eggplant Still Life by Haitian Artist Calixte Henry, 1980 pyramids one needs to leave itI didn't know of Calixte Henri (1933 2010) when I found this painting and also didn't know that a big radiant dose of pink and purple could feel so right! but have since learned that he was a widely recognized and well collected Haitian painter, considered one of the "masters" of Haitian art and there is fair bit on him out there. And no great surprise this painting feels very fresh, very confident, and very resolved. Born in 1933 in Port au Prince,
