At its height in 1950s Haiti, the Naïve art movement drew upon scenes from daily life such as this rural landscape that somehow manages to make backbreaking farm labor upbeat. The vibrant palette and tropical backdrop to tell this story are as authentic a marker of the style, as is the writing on the verso: "Minoterie d' Haiti, enrichie, 100 Livres d' emballage," which translates into English as "Haiti Flour Mill, enriched, 100 pound packaging." The artist’s signature is found bottom right.
