Louisjuste
The Louisjuste brothers -Seresier, Janvier, and Joseph,- were
born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. They learned the art-form from the originator
of Haitian metals, Georges Liautaud, and were instrumental in passing it on to
the next generation of Croix-des-Bouquets metal artists.
Gabriel Bien-Aime, Serge Jolimeau, and Jean Sylvestre each began their training under the Louisjuste brothers, and each eventually eclipsed their teachers in fame and popularity. Works by the Louisjuste brothers today are hard to find.
Several of Joseph Louisjuste's pieces were included in "Lespri Endependan: Discovering Haitian Sculpture" (2004) at the Frost Art Museum at Florida International University.
