The artist Jean-Marie Haessle was born in 1939 in Alsace, France. When Haessle was 14 years old, he started to work in a coal mine. During his military service Haessle saw his first art museum. It was in Munich where he saw van Goghs painting Sunflowers against a blue background. Haessle was mesmerized and decided to become a painter.
In 1967 he went to New York with his American girlfriend. At the beginning he felt like an outsider but by and by he made it as a painter. Haessle is an internationally well known and famous artist. His paintings are exhibited in galleries and museums in the USA, in Central America, Europe and the Far East.
