| Born approximately 1954, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Fritz Monsanto began painting at age 20. His early work often depicted dogs and cats in lush landscapes, but in 1985 he began to paint in a whimsical narrative style. He created clever fantasy villages inhabited by dressed cats engaged in human activities. These "stories" are often romantic and filled with gentle humor. The appeal of these fantasy paintings is undeniable, and Mosanto has had considerable success with his exhibits in both the US and Haiti. |
