Jacmel, Haiti From Monday's Globe and Mail

One day recently Zaka Chery took a video camera down to this city's small
port and began to film as Jacmel's best surviving artwork floated away.
The paintings had just been loaded onto a small boat bound for a gallery
in Miami, having been rescued from the crumbled mess of a building that
used to be a nerve centre for Jacmel's renowned arts community.
The situation was bittersweet for Mr. Chery, a 22-year-old filmmaker who
was second-in-command at the arts centre, the only one of its kind in the
city. The U.S. exposure promises to be a boon for Jacmelian artists who
have struggled for international recognition. But all of them are deep in
mourning right now: Flo McGarrell, the dynamic, transsexual artist who
built their U.S. bridge was, like their studio space, felled by the quake.
The death of Mr. McGarrell, a 35-year-old American multimedia artist who
moved to Jacmel in 2008 to help the arts centre grow, combined with the
centre's destruction, has cast a significant amount of uncertainty on to
the future of arts here. It has also, many artists fear, capped the realm
of possibilities that Mr. McGarrell seemed to be so steadily widening.
Flo wanted to show these artists around the world. He worked hard for
that, said Mr. Chery, in a conversation where he shifted between rough
English and Creole. Now, I meet so many artists that say to me, Zaka, I
lost my career.' I don't think anybody else can do the same work as Flo.
Art has always been an essential part of culture in Jacmel, which is the
fifth-largest city in Haiti but one of the country's best-known for
producing successful artists and craftsmen. Artists, writers and poets
from all over the country and abroad have historically flocked to the
city to adopt it as a muse. But for the most part, painters and sculptors
here still struggle to make a decent living from their art.

Haiti earthquake: A cultural agony in a nation where art is life

Large wooden panels where paintings once hung had toppled. A bronze bust
of DeWitt Peters, a California water colorist widely credited with
bringing international attention to Haitian art in the 1940s, lay on the
ground.
Joseph Gaspard, a member of the board of directors of the College Saint
Pierre museum, was inspecting the site Saturday for the first time since
the Jan. 12 earthquake, crunching broken glass as he walked through the
debris. He struggled not to cry.
Quake-hit Haiti's lost artThe earthquake that hit Haiti last month
destroyed the house of the man who owns the world's largest collection of
Haitian art. His son, Georges Nader, describes the steps being taken to
recover the surviving paintings
