About Sisson Blanchard Sisson Blanchard was born in 1929 in Trouin, a small village in the mountains of southern Haiti. According to Eleanor Ingalls Christensen in her 1975 book, The Art of Haiti, he came to Port-au-Prince as a young man and got a job as a gardener in the house of Joel and Ethel Kenter, who owned the Hotel Mon Reve on the Champs de Mars. In 1948, Joel Kenter gave painting materials to Sisson who soon began selling his work to the Centre d'Art, encouraged by DeWitt and by Jason Seley, an American sculptor who taught at the Centre then. Blanchard later moved on to the Galerie Issa. Blanchard's paintings of birds and farming scenes were first shown at the Centre d'Art, and have since been exhibited all over the world. His work is included in the collections of the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth, Davenport Museum of Art and the Waterloo Museum of Art in Iowa. His son, Smith Blanchard also became a prominent Haitian painter. Sisson Blanchard died in 1981. Blanchard arranges fish, birds, animals, vegetables and flowers in orderly columns or disorderly groups. His works are characterized by a naive boldness, using bright primary colors.
