Description
This commanding large-scale composition by the late Haitian master Wilfrid Daleus captures a timeless moment of intimacy and union.
The bride and groom lean into one another in a poised, restrained embrace — a kiss that seals not only a marriage, but a lifetime. Daleus’ signature modernist structure is evident in the angular planes, elongated figures, and harmonious geometry that define the composition. The cool blue background provides architectural calm, while the bride’s luminous gown and bouquet anchor the emotional center of the painting.
Unlike more narrative market scenes often associated with Haitian art, this work speaks to refinement and universality. It is both culturally rooted and globally modern — ideal for collectors seeking sophistication rather than folkloric excess.
At 48 x 36 inches, this is a major presentation piece. It commands a wall and anchors a room.
Market Context
Comparable large-scale romantic compositions by Wilfrid Daleus achieved five-figure private placements prior to the artist’s passing.
