Jean-Baptiste Jean

From The Collection Of Jonathan Demme

Gathering to go to a Ceremony

c. 1975, Masonite, 18 x 24 inches

 

We note the carefully color-coordinated elements of clothing, including the intriguingly mismatched stockings. A special event is clearly in the offing, though whether it is of a secular, religious, or secret society nature is not known to us.

Jean-Baptiste Jean, born April 21, 1953 in Cap Haitien, worked for a year at Cap Haitian's Branche Capois de Centre d'Art with Philome Obin and Sully Obin before formally joining the Centre in 1973.
