Petion Savain, was born in Port-au-Prince and was a prolific Haitian painter and writer. He is considered one of the founding fathers of modern art in Haiti. After studying law at the Haitian School of Agronomy, Savain became a newspaper columnist, lawyer, teacher, and author - all while still in his thirties.
The Chicago artist Walter Edouard Scott met Savain in Port-au-Prince in 1930 and encouraged his painting. He also studied at the Art Students League in New York in 1941, and Savain began showing widely in the US - beginning at Atlanta University in 1942. He has been included in many recent art historical surveys of Haitian art published in Haiti, France and the United States.
