Known for our expertise in 1940's-50's exceptional art works associated with the Centre d’Art (Port-au-Prince, Haiti). For over 20 years, Jose Zelaya has worked closely with many early promoters of Haitian art in New York, including Gloria Frank (Gloria Frank D'Haiti), Carol Rodman and Leon Sevilla (Sevilla Art Studio). Today Arte del Pueblo represents the most prominent collections of Haitian art
in North America. We specialize in early Centre d'Art paintings (Port-au-Prince, Haiti) from 1944 to the 1950's. Arte del Pueblo offers important and well-documented Haitian paintings that have been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe. Many of these paintings are illustrated in prominent reference books on Haitian art, including:
Where Art is Joy (Selden Rodman)
The Brooklyn Museum (Ute Stebich)
Kunst Aus Haiti (Jaeger)
Island on Fire (Demme)
Three Visions (Demme)
