Rameau, Cameau (Haitian, 1943 - 2016)



Cameau Rameau (also known as Rameau Cameau) was born April 19, 1943 in Port-au-Prince. His younger brother is the artist Joseph Cameau. Both began to paint in 1973 under guidance of their brother-in-law, Calixte Henri, at the workshop of the Galerie Monnin. Painting deliberately in oils with a razor blade, Cameau Rameau's style is precise and distinctive.
