Biography

Jean-Baptiste Bottex (June 24, 1918 – May 28, 1979) was a Haitian painter. Hailing from Port Margot, near Cap-Haitien in northern Haiti, Jean-Baptiste and his younger brother Seymour are descendants of the Haitian Generals of the Independence of the North - Raimond de Bottex, and his son Narcéus Bottex (18th and 19th centuries). Like Seymour, he worked for a time for the Galerie Issa in Port-au-Prince. Considered a naïve artist, his work is best known for its two separate styles: Often exhibited in Haiti, particularly at the Centre d'Art, his works have also featured in numerous exhibitions worldwide.
