Le Vieillard Méditant

Casimir Joseph born March 3, 1941 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In 1961, he became a member of the school Foyer des Arts Plastiques, formed by a group of sophisticated artists who were dissatisfied with the way issues affecting Haitian painters were addressed. Casimir worked briefly at the National Service for the Eradication of Malaria, while practicing art on the side. In 1974, encouraged by his long last friend Ludovic Booz, he resolved to devote himself to painting full time.
