Fruit Tree

Alberoi Bazile
born 1920, Jacmel, Haiti
 detail
Bazile has become known for his extraordinary use of bold colors.
It had been rumored that Bazile, sometime during the 30-year reign of François "Papa Doc” Duvalier, was arrested because some of the themes in his paintings irritated government officials. (Being thrown into jail in Haiti, especially at that time, was akin to being thrown into the fires of hell.) After his release, he chose to paint only innocuous renditions of fish, fruit, and fruit trees, and Biblical depictions, such as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
