Ceremony for Agoue ca.1976 by Felix Jean
Ceremony for Agoue ca.1976 by Felix Jean.Felix Jean was one of the most underrated of Haitian artists. His main claim to fame, it seems, was that his work was featured on Barbancourt Rhum labels over the years. To honor Agoue, Vodou Lord of the Sea, his devotees build a small raft with sides, called "The Barque of Agoue". They fill the barque with Agoue's favorite foods and drink, take it to the sea, put it on a boat and row or sail it out into the ocean. They lift the barque from the boat and set it gently on the sea. When it sinks, this means that Aqoue has accepted their offering.24x36" in fine carved wooden Haitian Frame.Price negotiable.Contact seller for invoice.

A nice touch is the way the signature sits just off-center, balancing the composition beautifully.
