Very attached to the past of his people, Albert Dombé, a native painter of the 1940’s, chose to resuscitate, through the evocation of daily life scenes, traditions whose growing oblivion he deplored. These scenes depict dancing, hunting or fishing. This ideal of remembrance earned us a realistic artistic production, both anecdotal and spontaneous, without losing poetic sense. Above all, Dombé possessed a keen sense of composition and movement. None at the time surpassed him in describing the shimmering movements of the crowd, which are lively and expressed in brilliant colours.
