Jan Balet (20 July 1913, in Bremen - 31 January 2009, Estavayer le Lac , Switzerland ), was a famous German/US-American painter, graphic artist and illustrator. Affected by the style naive art he worked particularly as a graphic artist and as an Illustrator of children's books. Besides this, he painted pictures in the style of naive art.
Referred to as a “naïve” painter, his works exhibit a dry wit and refreshingly candid, satirical view of life. Balet was a master of both brush and pen. Often with a sense of whimsy and always with a discerning eye and a skilled hand, Balet created images that continue to lift the spirit and challenge the imagination. less
