Joseph Wilfrid Daleus (1949, Port-au-Prince, Haiti – 2017, Miami, FL) was a self-taught painter and gallerist who championed Haitian art. Daleus immigrated to Miami’s Little Haiti district where he established his eponymous gallery in the 1980s and spoke out against the gentrification of his neighborhood in the following decades. Daleus is known for his paintings of Haitian culture, like Voodoo Dance (1981), which is held in the largest publicly held collection of Haitian artwork in the world at the Waterloo Center for the Arts, Waterloo, IA.
