Haiti Photos from Flo McGarrell

Photos from Flores McGarrell

From his Flickr account. Gowithflo at flickr. I'm not really 100% sure about copyright for these photos, now the artist has passed from us. What are the rules for artworks if you are no longer alive? But the photos are very much still with us, and still speak to us. They are really lovely. I am 100% certain that Flo would want me, or the Museum, to use them on our websites.

For more information of the Jacmel art center where Flo was a major force see: www.fosaj.com. A group of creative artists were to appear, preform, make art, music and paint a huge banner at the Main Street Museum this summer. We will post information about these artists and others of Jacmel, as news arrives.

A dancer at FOSAJ (perhaps Chery Claudel? see facebook, or Amboise Anderson? see www.fosaj.com)

These costumes, made out of recycled stuff, are Very Flo.

Flo on the Beach.

Wish I had been there! I like the art.

A human vertebrae from a Jacmel cemetery.

Skeletons are popular motifs in Haitian Art. Seems very appropriate now...

Flo, MAksaens Denis and Hemane Belvue on the beach.

Some of Flo's hair is in the Museum Collection.

The FOSAJ art center, situated in a former coffee warehouse in Jacmel.

A cardboard coffin is hoisted in the air by a dancer (perhaps Chery Claudel?) at a FOSAJ performance.

"Clowns Without Borders". Also very Flo.
