National Identity and Nineteenth-Century Franco-Belgian Sculpture
National Identity and Nineteenth-Century Franco-Belgian Sculpture This book elaborates on the social and cultural phenomenon of national schools dur- ing the nineteenth century, via the less studied field of sculpture and using Belgium as a case study. The role, importance of, and emphasis on certain aspects of national identity evolved throughout the century, while a diverse array of criteria were indicated by com- missioners, art critics, or artists that supposedly constituted a “national sculpture.” By confronting the role and impact of the four most crucial actors within the artistic field (politics, education, exhibitions, public commissions) with a linear timeframe, this book offers a chronological as well as a thematic approach. Artists covered include Guillaume Geefs, Eugène Simonis, Charles Van der Stappen, Julien Dillens, Paul Devigne, Constan- tin Meunier, and George Minne.

Living Marble Belgian Sculptors - 1800-1930 Living Marble Belgian Sculptors 1800-1930
LIVING MARBLE BELGIAN SCULPTORS - 1800-1930 LIVING MARBLE BELGIAN SCULPTORS 1800-1930 PAUL VERBR AEKEN ARTIMO BRUSSELS In appreciation of my parents Simona and Marcel Van Cauwenbergh, who showed me the way ARTIMO The letterhead of my art business ARTIMO depicts a gracious bust on the left, the right hand side is adorned with a precious time piece. In the past my activities were mainly concentrated on the knowledge of everything that had to do with the measurement of time, including jetlag. Now with the opening of my new gallery at the heart of Europe the sculptural element steps into the spotlight. The manner in which it does so, I believe I may call unique, both in terms of the location and the sculptures themselves. Two long-standing passions are at its origin: for decades I have bought sculptures that I traded, or kept, if they truly fascinated me. In this way a selection came about that then grew into a collection and a second passion, alongside the precious ticking clocks.With the restoration of the Art Nouveau building in Lebeau Street in Brussels, under the guidance of Monumentenzorg, the Belgian organization for the protection of monuments, the ideal platform for the presentation of the collection had arrived. This inauguration and exhibition LIVING MARBLE presents exclusive work by Belgian sculptors from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Never before has it been possible in this country to see such a museum-standard collection, accompanied by a publication that contains both annotations and unique illustrations. I hope this ARTIMO initiative will contribute to a revaluation of sculptural art in general, and of Belgian sculpture from the period in particular. -

227 Khnopff, Fernand, “François Maréchal, a Liège Etcher,”
1900 Khnopff, Fernand, “François Maréchal, a Liège Etcher,” The Studio, 20, 88 (July, 1900), 102-107. François Maréchal, A Liège Etcher. By Fernand Khnopff. In the year 1893 I saw in the album of the Brussels Society of Aquafortists a number of panoramic views of Liège, signed “F. Maréchal.” I was struck at the time by their skilful composition, their somewhat rough but solid touch, and by their air of truthfulness and sincerity. Since then I had come across nothing bearing the same signature, until in the studio of M. Rassenfosse I saw it again on an extraordinarily varied series of etchings, representing “bits” and types from the outlying suburbs, and numerous night scenes on the quays, with the trembling lights reflected in the waters of the Meuse. To a sense of admiration for the works themselves was added a strong desire to see their author. An Old Walk, Suburb of Liège. From an Etching by F. Maréchal Shortly afterwards I was accordingly introduced to him, and found myself in the presence of a man, still young, of very interesting appearance, small, spare and wiry, with short thin features, bright and piercing glance, and the full forehead of a man of strong will and concentrative power—in a word, a native of the Ardennes. A modest room in a simple inn, commanding a view of the broad river and the town, served as his studio, which, by way of furniture, boasted nothing beyond a couple of seats, a large press, bottles and phials of every sort of shape, a fine grey cat, and notably a rich and splendid collection of butterflies, carefully pinned inside their glass-lidded boxes, and, in their superb, intact condition, glistening like so many marvellous gems.
