Claude Dambreville (born 1934, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) started painting after directing the radio
station, Radio Tropiques, for 14 years. In
1968, he joined the
Centre
d’Art in Port-au-Prince where he learned and perfected his
internationally-known painting style. Using a subdued color palette
of grays and blues unlike most Haitian painting, Dambreville
depicts the grace, strength, and dignity of Haitian market people.
Dambreville is also a writer and journalist.
