Roland
Dorcely
Haitian
b. 1930
Roland
Dorcely was an important member of Haiti's avant-garde in the
1950s. Dorcely, along with Luckner Lazard, Dieudonne Cedor and
others, broke from the Centre d'Art to form the "Foyer des
Arts Plastiques." In the 1940s and '50s, Dorcely traveled
to Paris to study with Fernand Leger and Andre Masson. His work
has been exhibited throughout the world and is in the collections
of the Musee d'Art Moderne de Paris and the Museum of Modern
Art, New York (see page 289 of Barr's Painting and Sculpture
in the Museum of Modern Art 1929-1967). This painting, showing
the strong influence of Leger, was painted in Paris, probably
in the 1950s. The stretcher bears a label from "La Galerie
'18'" in Paris.
