The most common source of Haitian arts is the Center D'Art. But quite some other researches after have suggested that the center, a 1944 development founded by an American teacher, Dewitt Peters, who arrived Haiti in 1940 falls short of archeological findings like sculptures, pots and other objects found in the country decades later. These objects that could be traced to the Pre-Columbia period, another sources suggested, belong to the Tainos people of Haiti.  Irrespective of anyone's view of Peters' contributions to the development of Haitian arts, the fact remains that he found natural talent in the people and used same to build the Haitian art of contemporary period with his initiative to set up the center in Port-au-Prince. Today, the landscape of Haitian arts has imbibed the African flavor leading to what could be described as 'back to the roots'. This development, which started in the late 1940 could be traced to a sort of movement that had someone like the Art Student's League, New York trained painter, Petion Savain as a leading force at that period of Haitian arts.  From that progression comes Haitian contemporary arts said to have been influenced by the Caribbean countries. But this stage of Haitian arts appeared to have gained more popularity within the elite because of its modern forms.
