The exhibition featured sculptures fashioned from salvaged oil drums, and naïve paintings rendered in bright, flat colors. Among other objects were works by Georges Liautaud, the initiator of oil drum sculpture in the 1950s, the first painting sold by houngan (voodoo priest) Hector Hippolyte, one of the most famous naïves, and works from the St. Soleil Commune. During the run of the exhibition Dr. Robert C. Brictson presented an illustrated lecture on the naïve paintings and metal sculpture of Haiti.
The exhibition, installed at the University Towne Centre Museum Satellite, was composed of selections from the collection of Dr. Robert C. Brictson of Jacmel, Haiti. The exhibition was funded in part by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Program.
