Publication/Literature: Peintres Haïtiens, Gerald Alexis, page 48. Andre Normal was first an illustrator who joined the Centre d’Art in 1954. Normil paints works that combine moments of everyday life with investigations of biblical and historical scenes. He is one of the earliest of the mid-20th century Haitian self-taught artists to be exhibited with contemporary artists (Zurich, 1975). His work is included in the permanent collections of the Musee d'Art Haitien du College Saint Pierre in Port-au-Prince and the Milwaukee Art Museum.
