Mentor’s paintings usually depict Haitian daily life, which is the reason why this painting and ”The Crucifixion” are so unusual and fascinating. One is a dramatic depiction of the crucifixion of Christ, the other a striking rendition of battle scenes. And both are painted to resemble stained glass artworks. One of Mentor’s later paintings, a rural scene, was chosen for the front and back covers of the March 1972 issue of the magazine, ”Americas,” a publication of the Organization of American States (OAS).
