Michael Baxte Portrait Paintings

Russian, 1890-1972

Michael Baxte was an American painter. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics. During the 1930s Baxte and his wife, Violet, lived in France and spent most of their time in Paris, where Baxte became part of the School of Paris and exhibited his artwork in government-sponsored exhibitions, including the Salon d'Automne, helping as well to organize an exhibition of American painters. When World War II began, and Paris became unsafe, Baxte and his wife relocated to Mexico, where they continued to live and work. Baxte died in 1972 in Mexico.
