THE STORY, IN BRIEF
The Museum of Modern Art’s 1952 recent-acquisitions checklist includes Wilson Bigaud’s Murder in the Jungle and Enguerrand Gourgue’s Magic Table, both acquired through the Inter-American Fund. Their presence within an international display documents the museum’s engagement with modern Haitian painting. This is a contemporary acquisition record, rather than a later account of the artists’ reputations.
