Murat Brierre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Murat Brierre (1938–1988) was one of Haiti's principal metal sculptors. He was influenced by George Liautaud, but his work acquired its own, highly experimental style, often focusing on multi-faceted and conjoined figures, fantastically personified elements, and unborn babies visible within larger creatures. Brierre drew on a combination of vodou and Christian motifs.
