Spirit & Strength: Modern Art from Haiti
Spirit & Strength: Modern Art from Haiti pays homage to the island's thriving art scene during the 20th century. Haiti itself upholds a lengthy history of resilience and tenacity against colonial powers, becoming the first black republic in 1804. Spirit & Strength is the first chance to see 21 works by Haitian artists recently given to the National Gallery. Art flourished in Haiti—the world’s first Black republic—in the mid-1900s. Painters like Hector Hyppolite, Rigaud Benoît, and Philomé Obin were known around the world for their images of Haitian daily life, religious traditions, and history. The National Gallery of Art, Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20565. Runs through March 9, 2025.
