The Oumphor
by: Wilnerle Fevre, 1975
There are over 107
worshippers (not to mention the animals) colourfully depicted in this realistic painting of a Voudon Ritual.. I walked past it every day in a store-front window on Haight Street for over two years, and I always had my eye on it, then one day it wasn't there! I rushed in to inquire about it and the owner said that the store was packing up to relocate. Needless to say, I bought the painting and have enjoyed it ever since! He also had mentioned (to the best of my recollection) that he had acquired the painting from a mysterious man who had left it with him for an appraisal, but the mysterious fellow never returned to claim it. |
