Aristide Bruant by Lautrec

Born Louis Armand Aristide Bruand in the village of Courtenay, Loiret in France, Bruant left his home in 1866 at age fifteen, following his father's death, to find employment.

Dressed in a red shirt, black velvet jacket, high boots, and a long red scarf, and using the stage name Aristide Bruant, he soon became a star of Montmartre, and when Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec began showing up at the cabarets and clubs, Bruant became one of the artist's first friends.

Once there, Steinlen was befriended by the painter Adolphe Willette who introduced him to the artistic crowd at Le Chat Noir that led to his commissions to do poster art for the cabaret owner / entertainer, Aristide Bruant and other commercial enterprises.

Judex was a mysterious avenger who dressed in black and wore a slouch hat and cloak like Aristide Bruant.

The coup saw hundreds killed, and Aristide was forced into exile, his life saved by international diplomatic intervention.

In late 1996, Aristide broke with Préval and formed a new political party, the Lavalas Family ( Fanmi Lavalas, FL ), which won elections in April 1997 for one-third of the Senate and local assemblies, but these results were not accepted by the government.

At the November 2000 elections, boycotted by the opposition, Aristide was again elected president, with more than 90 % of the vote, on a turnout of around 50 % according to international observers.

Although Aristide accepted the plan, it was rejected by the opposition, which mostly consisted of Haitian businessmen and former members of the army ( who sought to reinstate the military following Aristide's disbandment of it ).

Aristide insists that he was essentially kidnapped by the U. S., while the U. S. State Department maintains that he resigned from office.

Aristide and his wife left Haiti on an American airplane, escorted by American diplomats and military personnel, and were flown directly to Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic, where he stayed for the following two weeks, before seeking asylum in a less remote location.

This event was later characterized by Aristide as a kidnapping.

Some investigators claimed to have discovered extensive embezzlement, corruption, and money laundering by Aristide.

Following the democratic election of Aristide in December 1990, many international creditors responded by cancelling significant amounts of Haiti's debt, bringing the total down to US $ 777 million in 1991.

On July 24 French prime minister Raymond Poincaré resigned for medical reasons ; he was succeeded by Aristide Briand.

By the end of the 19th century, some French organists ( e. g., Charles-Marie Widor and his students Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne ) named some of their organ compositions symphony: Their instruments ( many built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll ) allowed an orchestral approach ( Kaye 2001 ; Smith 2001 ; Thomson 2001 ).

The organ was almost completely rebuilt and expanded in the 19th century by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

He was succeeded as premier by Aristide Briand, with a reconstructed cabinet.

It also holds works by a wide range of influential European and American artists including Georges Braque, Marcel Duchamp, Walker Evans, Helen Frankenthaler, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Hans Hofmann, Edward Hopper, Paul Klee, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Dorothea Lange, Fernand Léger, Roy Lichtenstein, Morris Louis, René Magritte, Aristide Maillol, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Kenneth Noland, Georgia O ' Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Auguste Rodin, Mark Rothko, David Smith, Frank Stella, and hundreds of others.

The misery endured by Haiti's poor made a deep impression on Aristide, and he became an outspoken critic of Duvalierism.

Struck by the absence of young people in the church, Aristide began to organize youth, sponsoring weekly youth masses.

In September 1991 the army performed a coup against him ( 1991 Haitian coup d ' état ), led by Army General Raoul Cédras, who had been promoted by Aristide in June to Commander in Chief of the Army.

Aristide was deposed on 29 September 1991, and after several days sent into exile, his life only saved by the intervention of US, French and Venezuelan diplomats.

A campaign of terror against Aristide supporters was started by Emmanuel Constant after Aristide was forced out.

In addition to this trade with the US, the coup regime was supported by massive profits from the drug trade thanks to the Haitian military's affiliation with the Cali Cartel and the drug-affiliated government in the neighboring Dominican Republic ; Aristide publicly stated that his own pursuit of arresting drug dealers was one event that prompted the coup by drug-affiliated military officials Raul Cedras and Michel Francois ( a claim echoed by his former Secretary of State Patrick Elie ).

Libéral Bruant ( ca 1635-Paris, 22 November 1697 ), was a French architect best known as the designer of the Hôtel des Invalides, Paris, now dominated by the dome erected by Jules Hardouin Mansart, his collaborator in earlier stages of the construction.
