Albert Huie was born in 1920 in Falmouth, Jamaica and later moved to Kingston. Like Carl Abrahams, Albert studied art from a young age, beginning at the Institute of Jamaica at the age [url=http://www.re-tek.co.uk/abercrombie.html]abercrombie and fitch[/url] of 16. As a [url=http://www.rivaluta.it/css/moncler.html]moncler sito ufficiale[/url] painter Albert is best known for his work with landscapes and portraits. Many early works displayed slaves doing manual labor, and had the feel of Mexican mural painting, expressing sociopolitical themes that made him unpopular with the governing authorities. Conversely, he liked the elements of art deco and post-impressionism where everything [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] ugly was glossed over. His work is now displayed alongside that of Carl Abrahams in the National Gallery of Jamaica.
Carl Abrahams was born in 1911 in Kingston and began his artistic career quite early. At the age of seventeen he was working as a cartoonist for [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] the Daily Gleaner and the Jamaican Times. Soon after that he met legendary artist Augustus John, who was impressed with Carl’s work. The meeting would prove to be a turning point for Carl, as he began to study painting by copying masterpieces from art books. When World War II came, Carl served in the Royal Air Force in England. Being stationed in England help him realize painting religious subjects was his real passion and thus he focused on that genre alone form then on. The National Gallery of Jamaica now holds 20 paintings of Carl’s, all of the Passion of Christ.
