A very well-made video presentation from AyiboPost on my favorite Haitian painter. Obin's so-called naive style and detailed historical paintings capture not only the distinctive regional patrimony of the Nord but represent Haiti well. I am also intrigued his and the Cap-Haitien school's subject matter: historic paintings, cultural scenes of capois or northern Haitian life, and, from what I can tell, hardly any of the folkloric of vaudouesque scenes of Hector Hyppolite or other Haitian painters of Obin's generation.
