Studies

Bazaine was born in Paris. He studied sculpture at the Académie Julian and with Paul Landowski after a brief passage at the École des Beaux-Arts. At the same time, he continued his study of philosophy and literature at the Sorbonne in Paris attaining certificats in art history and philosophy (–).

Bergson's L'évolution créatrice was his main inspiration at the time.

With Baltrušaitis, he participated at the first "Groupe d'Histoire de l'art" led by Emile Mâle and Henri Focillon.

These studies would culminate in an influential text Notes sur la peinture d'aujourd'hui (), aimed at going beyond the boundaries—quite dogmatic at the time—of abstract and figurative.
