Paul Daxhelet
Paul Daxhelet was born in 1905 in Belgium. He initially studied in Liège, then later in Paris. Daxhelet uses waxy crayon or pastel to remarkable effect and surrounds his Pan with an aureole that adds to his otherworldly appearance. Daxhelet depicted many figures from the world of sports in his early years, and later depicted scenes from East Africa, where he visited with great interest.
