  • Biography

    Robert Brice was born in 1898. Robert Saint-Brice was raised Episcopalian, but became a Vodou priest. He received his paintings in dreams and through religious experiences. Among his mentors was the African-American painter Alex John, who introduced him to the work of the French Impressionists and the Centre d'Art in Port au Prince, Haiti. Saint-Brice was illiterate for his entire life; the dealer Issa el Saieh taught him how to sign his name on his paintings. Brice passed away in 1973.
