Back at the Jacmel Arts Center, the guy who had pulled me off the stairs at the request of the police wanted to show me his art.
I looked at every painting by every artist. Finally, I said "I will give you twenty dollars, and you choose the painting."
He immediately got to work, considering.
"Not by another artist. One of yours," I explained.
"I represent all the artists," he said.
"I know, but I want one of yours."
He chose one, wrapped it up, and sent me on my way.
