Press Release Brafa 2020 All Together Different PRESS RELEASE BRAFA 2020 ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT Over more than fifty years, Galerie Oscar De Vos built a tradition of prestigious exhibitions on Modern Belgian Art, with an emphasis on the art of The Latem School. Artists such as George Minne, Valerius De Saedeleer, Gustave Van de Woestyne, Emile Claus, Albert Servaes, Constant Permeke, Gust. De Smet, Frits Van den Berghe and Hubert Malfait enjoy the appreciation of a large audience throughout museum exhibitions, publications in Belgium and abroad. Each of these artists loved the nature of Latem. There they created their works spontaneously and interacted with the other artists who resided in the village. The region of Flanders has long been an area rich in art. On the outskirts of the city Ghent, along the river Lys, artists relocated to the village of Sint-Martens-Latem. In Flanders, artists converged on Latem because of its beauty. In this pastoral environment were born a great many attractive works that could not have been originated in any city. The artworks on show during BRAFA 2020 will mainly be divided in two thematic sections: Symbolism and Expressionism (1890-1930). The collection of Galerie Oscar De Vos for the 65th BRAFA edition will mark this period as part of the flow of art history. The focus will be on artworks of an important provenance, being fresh on the art market and that have been exhibited in international art institutions, such as Venice Art Biennale, Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum, Eindhoven Van Abbe Museum, Hamburg Kunsthaus, London Royal Academy of Arts, Maastricht Bonnefanten Museum, Sao Paolo Museo de Arta Moderna. The gallery policy is based on the conviction that the high quality of The Latem School Modern Art connects the rich cultural past of Flanders and Belgium with a contemporary international appreciation of its artists. The gallery established its name in this specialized domain, by contributing to international museum exhibitions and (scientific) publications and with its participation in international art fairs. Museums, art institutions and private collectors rely on the expertise and reliability of the gallery to expand and consolidate their collections. 1.

    Frances Hodgkins 14 auckland city art gallery modern european paintings in new Zealand This exhibition brings some of the modern European paintings in New Zealand together for the first time. The exhibition is small largely because many galleries could not spare more paintings from their walls and also the conditions of certain bequests do not permit loans. Nevertheless, the standard is reasonably high. Chronologically the first modern movement represented is Impressionism and the latest is Abstract Expressionism, while the principal countries concerned are Britain and France. Two artists born in New Zealand are represented — Frances Hodgkins and Raymond Mclntyre — the former well known, the latter not so well as he should be — for both arrived in Europe before 1914 when the foundations of twentieth century painting were being laid and the earlier paintings here provide some indication of the milieu in which they moved. It is hoped that this exhibition may help to persuade the public that New Zealand is not devoid of paintings representing the serious art of this century produced in Europe. Finally we must express our sincere thanks to private owners and public galleries for their generous response to requests for loans. P.A.T.

Tout a commencé lors de mon installation à Londres, au début des années quatre-vingt. J’y ai découvert le monde des galeries d’art, des ventes aux enchères et très vite cet univers fascinant s’est imposé à moi comme une évidence et devint une passion. Mon intérêt pour l’art belge, essentiellement celui de la fin du 19e siècle et du début du 20e siècle, répondait parfaitement à ma sensibilité naissante et à mon sentiment d’exilé. Dès 1991 j’ai donc commencé avec les encouragements de ma mère, qui adorait fouiner, à rechercher et à acquérir des œuvres d’artistes belges de cette période. Peu de temps après, j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer Sabine Taevernier qui est devenue, et qui est encore aujourd’hui, ma conseillère.

  • Continuum 119 a Belgian Art Perspective
    CONTINUUM 119 A BELGIAN ART PERSPECTIVE OFF-PROGRAM GROUP SHOW 15/04/19 TO 31/07/19 Art does not belong to anyone, it usually passes on from one artist to the next, from one viewer to the next. We inherit it from the past when it served as a cultural testimony to who we were, and we share it with future generations, so they may understand who we are, what we fear, what we love and what we value. Over centuries, civilizations, societies and individuals have built identities around art and culture. This has perhaps never been more so than today. As an off-program exhibition, I decided to invite five Belgian artists whose work I particularly like, to answer back with one of their own contemporary works to a selection of older works that helped build my own Belgian artistic identity. In no way do I wish to suggest that their current work is directly inspired by those artists they will be confronted with. No, their language is mature and singular. But however unique it may be, it can also be looked at in the context of the subtle evolution from their history of art, as mutations into new forms that better capture who these artists are, and the world they live in. Their work can be experienced within an artistic continuum, in which pictorial elements are part of an inheritance, all the while remaining originally distinct. On each of these Belgian artists, I imposed a work from the past, to which they each answered back with a recent work of their own.

Johan Tahon, internationally renowned Belgian artist, is exhibiting a strong and committed body of work that reveals his deep connection with the ceramic medium. In the space devoted to contemporary creation, visitors enter a mystical world inhabited by hieratic monks, leading them into a second gallery where, in addition to the figures, pharmacy jars or albarelli are displayed. A direct reference to the history of faience, the ointments, powders and medicines contained in such vessels were intended to heal both body and soul. A sensitive oeuvre reflecting the human condition Johan Tahon’s oeuvre evolves in an original and individual way.

  • Tussen Impressie En Melancholie Johan De Smet
    Tussen impressie en melancholie Johan De Smet Inleiding ‘Un luministe délicat, habile à prismatiser les toits rouges et les pignons blancs des hameaux de la Flandre.’ Aldus vatte Camille Lemonnier in zijn overzichtswerk L’école Belge de Peinture 1830–1905, Emmanuel Viérins artistieke streven bij de aanvang van de 20e eeuw samen. Deze goedbedoelde maar generaliserende omschrijvingen zouden Viérin blijven achtervolgen, waarbij in de herhaling niet zelden fouten slopen. Hoe diepgaand dergelijke studies waren, mag ook blijken uit de korte karakterisering van Paul Colin, die in zijn standaardwerk La peinture belge depuis 1830, Viérin als een schilder van voornamelijk Brugse stadsgezichten zag. In essentie bracht Viérin een verstilde werkelijkheid in beeld. Een werkelijkheid die van menselijke activiteit verstoken bleef. Na zijn realistische debuut evolueerde hij halfweg de jaren 1890 in de richting van het luminisme, dat toen parallel met het algemene succes van Emile Claus (1849–1924) tal van jonge kunstenaars aansprak. Oorspronkelijk werd de term luminisme gebruikt voor alle door het Franse impressionisme beïnvloede kunst die een losse, gebroken schriftuur combineerde met een zonnig palet. Een karakteristiek verschil met de Franse kunst ligt in de realistische onderbouw van het voorgestelde. Eenzelfde luminisme, als variante op het Franse impressionisme, is ook in de eigentijdse Duitse en Nederlandse kunst aan te wijzen. Viérin is echter moeilijk te vergelijken met Claus en diens extraverte luminisme of met de andere impressionistische kunstenaars van de Leie. Hoewel de kunstenaar verschillende protagonisten van dit zorgeloze luminisme onder zijn vrienden telde en samen met hen exposeerde, zocht hij immers een andere weg. Tegenover hun uitbundige lichtschildering plaatste hij een berekende visie, die nauw aanleunde bij het eigentijdse intimisme van bijvoorbeeld Albert Baertsoen (1866–1922) maar ook Georges Buysse (1864–1916), Omer Coppens (1864–1926) en Théodore Verstraete (1850–1907).

  • Press Release Brafa 2018
    PRESS RELEASE BRAFA 2018 Galerie Oscar De Vos is pleased to announce the selected artworks for BRAFA 2018 at Tour & Taxis, Brussels. The exhibition focuses on quality works of MODERN BELGIAN ART FROM ABOUT 1890-1930. More than 40 oil paintings and a fine selection of works on paper and sculptures (marble , bronze, plaster) will expose the wide-ranging art of the Latem School is the collection will show how radically the art movements in Belgian, and even internationally, have been changed in such a short time period. Most of the artworks belonged to private collections and these artworks will be – even for the first time – on show during BRAFA 2018 since decades. Special attention is given to: Kneeling youth (1896) with gold leaf patina by George Minne Nasturtiums (1901) by Emile Claus Rest after the haymaking (1902) by Emile Claus Spring morning in Wales (1920) by Valerius De Saedeleer Wrapped up peasant (1910) by Gustave Van de Woestyne Playing boy in the snow (1918) by Frits Van den Berghe The lumberman (1930) by Gust. De Smet and the magnum opus of Frits Van den Berghe: The companions (1932). These paintings have been exhibited in major international museums, among others in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Leningrad, Moscow, Oslo, Stockholm and Tokyo. Museum catalogues, scientific publications and articles illustrate and confirm the importance of these artworks in specific and the Latem School artists in general. These Belgian avant-garde artists were protagonists of international art movements such as Impressionism, Symbolism, Expressionism and Surrealism. Over the last fifty years, Galerie Oscar De Vos has established its name in this specialized domain, contributing to international museum exhibitions and publications, and participating in international art fairs.
