Andre Juste

André Juste (born ca. 1957, Haiti) is an artist and art critic evolving in the New York art scene whose work has been reviewed in the New York Times and the Miami Herald and has been noted for defying stereotypes of Haitian art.

His sculpture "Pedro's Fire", though maintaining elements associated with the Haitian aesthetic, is an example of the new direction of the art produced by Haitian artists in the United States.

He has contributed a chapter titled Haitian Art to Henry Louis Gates and Anthony Appiah's Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience.

Notable exhibits

Juste's work appeared along Vladimir Cybil Charlier's in Négritude: Exit Art which took place in Manhattan in 2009 and was curated by Greg Tate and literary historian Rose Myriam Réjouis. The exhibit was reviewed by the New York Times.
