Leonard Daley (1930-2006) was born and grew up in the parish of St. Catherine in south-central Jamaica. He began making paintings when he was in his thirties, but none of his early works seemed to have survived by the late 1970s, when the local arts community started to become of aware of his art. “I have found the Jamaican Hyppolite!” the Brazilian diplomat enthusiastically informed Boxer [upon learning about Daley's paintings], referring to Hector Hyppolite (1894-1948), a painter whose works have become emblematic of the art of his native Haiti.
