A unique folk art form that began in Haiti in the1950's, Haitian metal sculpture is now recognized throughout the world.

Haitian Metal Art Tree with Three Suns ARTIST: Dieudonné Poteau NOTE: Signed "D. Poteau" on lower portion SIZE: 11"h x 9"w CONDITION: New. Previously in gallery inventory. HAITIAN METAL SCULPTURE The origins of Haitian ironwork, known as "Fer-de-Coupe" (aka. fer koupe), is credited to Georges Liataud, a blacksmith born in 1899, in Croix-de-Bouquets, small town 30 minutes outside of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince. Artists buy old steel oil drums, flatten them out, and trace patterns onto the metal sheets. No mechanized tools are used; they are cut by blows of a hammer-on-chisel, and then sanded, sculpted, and either left natural or are brightly painted. Today, Croix-de-Bouquets is the center for "Fer-de-Coupe" where the sound of chisels and hammers is heard everywhere. The works are perhaps the most innovative in sculpture since Calder’s mobiles, and they grace such prestigious institutions as the Museums of Modern Art in Paris and New York. _____________________________________________________ ABOUT THE SELLER I am a recently retired gallery owner/operator and collector of fine art and collectibles in the process of downsizing and liquidating much of my collection.
