Jean-René Bazaine (1904-2001), French Avant-garde painter of the nouvelle Ecole de Paris, was a close friend and lifetime collaborator of Jacques Quinet. In 1961, he was commissioned by the latter to create a mosaic - entitled “Wave” - for the swimming pool of the oceanliner Le France. Bazaine socialized with the artists and sculptors of his time such as Henri Laurens and Alexandre Calder and also became a close friend of Alberto Giacometti, his neighbor at his atelier in the 14th arrondissement in Paris. Both were represented by the Galerie Maeght.
