Continental Shifts: The Art of Edoaurd Duval-Carrie
Edited by Edward J. Sullivan, Continental Shifts: The Art of Edouard Duval-Carrie (Haitian Cultural Alliance/Arte al Dia) features the magical realism captured in both painting and sculpture by Duval-Carrie, whose art exhibits a dynamic blend of Afro-Caribbean culture, fantasy, and spectacular ornamentation. "Edouard Duval-Carrie is one of Haiti's most distinguished modern artists," says Sullivan. "Completely trained in the classical manner in ateliers in Paris, Montreal, and the U.S., he departs from the visual traditions usually associated with the mid-20th century 'Haitian School' artists and updates them through a careful and deliberate manipulation, imbuing his images with the iconography of voodoo spirituality, Haitian politics, and the trauma of life as it is lived in a nation in flux."
