Context of
Haitian Jungle Art
This style of painting, focusing on exotic “jungle” animals, like tigers, lions, and giraffes – which are not native to Haiti – became a staple of the Haitian art renaissance that began in the mid-1940s. Many artists from this movement, such as Gabriel Alix (who may have influenced Robert’s style) and Gabriel Coutard, are renowned for their intricate, dreamlike jungle scenes.
