Antoine She is one of the most remarkable artists in this new school, which is devoid of all extraneous influence and has lent a new image to Haitian painting.
As André Malraux remarked in regard to this school, it is impossible to determine where it came from or to whom it speaks.

Marassa A founding member of the Saint-Soleil group of artists, championed by Andre Malraux.
The Saint Soleil School uses linear patterning and symbolism reflecting practices of Vodou.
Dieuseul Paul, was one of the original members of the Saint Soleil movement which gained international recognition in 1975 when the French cultural icon Andre Malraux visited the community. It is said that Malraux was seated in a chair on a grassy knoll while the artists of Saint Soleil ascended the slope, encircling him, each holding a piece of their art. M. Malraux was blown away by the scene and immortalized the movement by featuring Saint Soleil prominently in his last book, L´Intemporel.

Kè Kontan In the final analysis, the painter paints because he or she is mounted (possessed) and paints what the Loa (Voodoo god) wants.
The Intemporel by Malraux provides a noteworthy analysis of this new school, quoting Louisianne St-Fleurant in confirmation of this astonishing feature : It is through Voodoo that we would best approach the creative process of the Saint-Soleil painters.

Welcome Saint Soleil was located in the mountains above LaBoule, at Soisson-La- Montagne. It provided the means and encouragement for not only painters, but also poets, writers, craftspeople, singers, dancers, sculptors and musicians.
The movement received international attention after the visit in 1975 of Andre Malraux, who was so impressed with the place that he devoted a chapter in his last book, L´Intemporel, to Saint Soleil. Exil is also one of the five members of Cinq Soleil, the group of artists that reformed in the late 1980's.
