Préparation pour la Proclamation au Peuple de L'Acta de Indépendence

Blaise is one of four brothers, all of whom became painters. He began painting in 1971 with the Bottex Brothers and Charles Anatole but soon moved to Port-au-Prince. After working with some of Haiti’s leading artists in the capitol, he left for the Bahamas for new inspiration but returned to his homeland to become a leader in a new generation of Haitian artists. His style, inspired by Haitian history, is incredibly detail-oriented and highly observant. But in the time leading up to his death in 1993, he turned to other subjects, especially fond of painting obese figures.
