Influenced by Hector Hyppolite, Haitiâ€™s greatest modernist painter and fellow native of the coastal city of St. Marc, Philippe-Auguste Salnave spent most of his career in the nationâ€™s capital of Port-au-Prince as its leading legal scholar and judge. He found success as a painter, and exhibited his work at the national art center as well as at museums in the United States. His compositions often feature a radiant palette, animals, and aspects of Haitian Vodou, the syncretic religion that combines aspects of Roman Catholicism and West African Vodun. --MAB
