Claude Dambreville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claude Dambreville (born 1934, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) started painting after directing the radio station, Radio Tropiques, for 14 years. In 1968, he joined the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince where he learned and perfected his internationally-known painting style. Using a subdued color palette of grays and blues unlike most Haitian painting, Dambreville depicts the grace, strength, and dignity of Haitian market people. Dambreville is also a writer and journalist.
