Davenport, Iowa (Monday, June 5, 2023) — The Figge Art Museum is home to one of the largest collections of Haitian art outside of Haiti. An impressive installation from the Figge’s permanent collection, Endless Flight by Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié, will be on view in the fourth-floor gallery beginning Saturday.

Arguably one of the masterpieces of the Figge’s collection, the work represents the intersection of contemporary figurative painting and sculpture with the unique cultural traditions of Haiti.
