The purpose of this website is to make you
know more about the original culture which developped on Easter
Island.Contemporary with the development of our
own culture, the Easter Island culture is all the more astonishing
since it developped within a limited population, and moreover, in one
of the most isolated places on Earth. Oceania in general and Oceanian art in
particular have been inspiring a great number of western artists for
the last two centuries. Quebec artist Jean Hervé Daude has fallen under Rapa
Nui's spell, the center of the universe, and invites you to share his
passion.(Rapa Nui: name given to their island by the
inhabitants).
The little Easter Island Museum
Jean Hervé Daude the artist
A slow and laborious search has allowed to gather a little collection of different objects from Easter Island and documents about it.
Bringing together things, which were previously scattered around the world,allows to learn and to know more about them.
Indeed we can establish comparisons, see the similarities and differences, appreciate them more and find out Man behind the object, for the object speaks about Man. It reflects a culture, a civilization.
With these different things patiently collected, exhibitions with lectures open to the public are organized by the website's author.
The purpose being to make you know more about the fascinating place that Easter Island is and about the original art which developped there.
