Untitled from 10 Original Woodcuts Signed by the Popular Painters of Haiti (10 Gravures Originales signées par les peintres populaires d'Haiti)

Rigaud Benoit was a Haitian painter whose work emerged from the 1940s modernist movement in Port-au-Prince. He developed a distinctive approach to figuration rooted in Haitian culture, mythology, and landscape, working primarily in oil and watercolor. Benoit's compositions combine bold color with an intimate, narrative sensibility that bridges folk tradition and formal modernism.
