Toussaint Auguste
Toussaint Auguste, born in Leogane in 1925, is said to have been active in the
Episcopal Diocese as a lay reader and a teacher before becoming a painter in
the late 1940s. He was among the early painters working at the Centre
d'Art in Port-au-Prince. Considered one of the First Generation Masters,
examples of his work can be found in many museums--including the permanent
collections of the Musee d'Art Haitien du College Saint Pierre in
Port-au-Prince and the Milwaukee Museum of Art--and in most books on Haitian
art.
Toussaint Auguste is represented in the Cathedral of Sainte Trinite in
Port-au-Prince with the murals "Flight into Egypt" and "The Temptation of
Adam and Eve." Following their execution, he moved to the United
States, where he presently resides.
