Description
PLEASE CLICK ON ABOVE STORE LINK TO CHECK OUT MY EBAY STORE WHERE MANY ITEMS ARE NOT LISTED IN MY REGULAR AUCTIONS. This auction is for an original Haitian Painting in Oil on masonite by the reknown artist Castera Bazile. The Painting is 20 x 24 signed and framed for an overall measurement of 25 x 29. Painting in Excellent Condition. The painting comes from the estate of the late Benjamin Blumberg. He was a wealthy lawyer who collected art from approx. 1920's - up into the 1960's. Painting was stored for many years, althought in very good condition, it will require some cleaning. About the Artist: .CASTERA BAZILE was born in Jacmel, Haiti on November 26, 1923. Orphaned at an early age. He moved to Port-au-Prince and found employment as a houseboy with the American Dewitt Peters, while the Centre d'Art was being organized. Witnessing gatherings of artists at the Centre d’Art, he soon expressed a desire to try his hand at painting and became a full-time painter in 1945. His brother Alberroi Bazile and cousin Wilmono Domond were also affiliated with Le Centre d’Art.. Although Bazile died at the age of forty-two, he had a long and successful career as an artist. He began producing compositions of the life he knew, powerful volumetric images with strong contrasts of light and dark and a firm contour. He stopped painting in 1962 when he contracted tubercolosis at the age of 39. His works are revered today as that of one of the most elegant Haitian painters. He died in Port-au-Prince in 1966. His work has been exhibited world wide and is in the PERMANENT COLLECTION of: Musee d'Art Haitien du College Saint Pierre in Port-au-Prince; The Flagg Tanning Corporation - Milwaukee Art Center - Jonathan Demme — Claude Auguste Douyon Davenport Museum of Art in Iowa; Milwaukee Museum of Art; Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.
