Paul Daxhelet<\/p>\n
Paul Alfred Marie Daxhelet, born on November 25, 1905 in Li\u00e8ge and died on October 3, 1993 in Li\u00e8ge, is a Belgian painter, drawer, watercolourist and engraver.
\nTrained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Li\u00e8ge and then at the Acad\u00e9mie Julian in Paris (1926), he began his career in an impressionist style in the 1930s with a work where sports themes dominate, especially boxing that the painter practices himself.
\nAfter the First World War, he worked mainly in the south of France.
\nHe fell under the charm of the Belgian Congo during a trip in 1951. He then became the painter of colonial exoticism. From his travels, in Africa then in India, in the Far East, in South America, in Polynesia and in Senegal, he brings back sketches and drawings made on live where he then draws paintings where color and movement reign.
\nHe was inspired by the landscapes of Africa, its fauna, its flora, its inhabitants, local markets, and dancers. His paintings were painted in a vivid palette and sometimes with an abstract background.
\nHe taught at the Academy of Li\u00e8ge from 1957 to 1970.<\/p>\n
