About this artist
About this artist
Jean-Baptiste Bottex was born in Port-Margot, Haiti, on June 24, 1918, and passed away in New York on May 28, 1979. The elder brother of the well-known painter Seymour Bottex, he became a respected figure in Haitian Naïve art. Jean-Baptiste specialized in biblical subjects and scenes of everyday Haitian life, earning recognition both locally through exhibitions at the Centre d’Art and internationally. As noted in Peinture Haïtienne by Marie José Nadal and Gérald Bloncourt, he was a “naïve painter specialized in biblical topics and daily scenes from Haitian life.” Early in his career, Bottex worked alongside the famed Haitian pioneer Philomé Obin. Although Obin’s “Northern School” influence is not strongly reflected in his style, the experience contributed to the refinement of his artistic voice. Jean-Baptiste later established an atelier with his brother S.E. Bottex, where they trained emerging artists and contributed to the development of Haiti’s modern naïve tradition.Jean-Baptiste Bottex remains an important contributor to Haiti’s artistic heritage, known for his evocative storytelling, distinctive naïve style, and dedication to training the next generation of Haitian painters.
