Wilmino Domond
Wilmino Domond, born in Jacmel in 1925, was a coffee farmer before becoming
inspired to paint by his cousin Castera Bazile. While never abandoning
agriculture, he joined the Centre d'Art in 1948 and launched a highly
successful career as a painter. Seldon Rodman, in his excellent work 'Where
Art is Joy: Haitian Art - The First Forty Years' says, "Gerard Valcin
and Wilmino Domond, next to Andre Pierre himself, were the dominant figures of
the second generation."
Wilmino Domond's typical subject matter are scenes from everyday life and
vodou. In recent years, his output has significantly decreased and he
once again devotes most of his energy to his farm outside Jacmel.
His work is included in the permanent collections of the Davenport Museum of Art
in Iowa and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut.
