Title A name given to the resource Untitled (Boys School) by Yves Lafontant Description An account of the resource oil on canvas Yves Lafontant was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1939. When he was young, his widowed mother married the Haitian master painter Rigaud Benoit so Yves was exposed to high quality art very early in his life. He did his first painting at age twelve and later studied at l'Academie des Artes Plastiques. In 1967 he went to the United States and studied Art and English at Brooklyn College. Lafontant’s subject matter is Haitian life, spanning the two centuries of Haiti's existence from historical scenes to modern vodou ceremonies. In the book Artistes en Haiti, Yves is quoted as saying that to him an artist is part journalist, part psychologist and part ethnologist. This painting, completed in 1999, depicts the activity outside a school for boys.
