Gesner Armand (1936 – 2008) was a Haitian painter born in Croix-des-Bouquets. His work belongs to the artistic life of Haiti in the second half of the twentieth century, and it helped bring Haitian painting with its popular subjects to audiences abroad.
Early on, he joined the Centre d'Art, where Pierre Monosiet introduced him to watercolour. Between 1958 and 1960 he spent time in Mexico, and in 1960 he received a French government scholarship that took him to Paris until 1962. After returning to Haiti, he settled in Croix-des-Bouquets and served as Director of the Museum of Haitian Art at St. Pierre's College.
His paintings typically depict peasant life, carnivals, and pigeons. They have been exhibited in Mexico, the United States, France, Spain, Jamaica, Martinique, Venezuela, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, and Israel, making his work known beyond the island.
