Seneque Obin (Haitian/Cap-Haitien, 1893-1977) Don Don, circa 1960-1965, Oil on masonite, 20 x 24 in. Framed 23 3/4 x 27 3/4 in. Provenance: Private New Jersey Collection;Kurt Bachmann Collection Lot Essay: Seneque, Philome Obin's younger brother, narrates Haiti's historical events, celebrations and social scenes with a decidedly vibrant color palette as a means to appeal to unexpected viewers and a way to challenge approaches to historical portraiture. Playfulness is possible even in scenes that would otherwise be weighted by an expected gravitas.
