The Reapers, Jamaica

This is an original hand signed and titled wood block print by Jamaican artist Albert Huie.  This work created and printed circa mid-1940's has an image size of 9 1/2X6 3/4 inches.  

Albert Huie (1920-2010) was a seminal figure in the formation and development of a national Jamaican artistic identity, overcoming the hurdles of a colonial-based system of race and class distinctions to become the first native-born Jamaican artist to attain international renown and respect. Working primarily in the areas of landscape, portraiture, and figurative art, he established a multiple award-winning career that spanned seven decades and earned him the title of “the Father of Jamaican Painting.”
