Bruegel redécouvert Château de Gaasbeek, 7 April 2019 to 28 July 2019 L’exposition La fête des fous. Bruegel redécouvert s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet « Les Maîtres flamands » de VISITFLANDERS, qui soutient l’exposition. Pieter Bruegel est souvent considéré comme l’incarnation ultime de l’identité flamande. Pourquoi en est-il ainsi depuis la redécouverte de son œuvre vers 1900 ? Comment se fait-il qu’il soit devenu une icône, une source inépuisable d’inspiration et un cliché incontournable ? L’exposition << Feast of Fools. Bruegel redécouvert >>, présentera au visiteur une série d’œuvres clés de maîtres modernes et de créations d'artistes contemporains qui « ont quelque chose en commun avec Bruegel ». Ils s’inscrivent dans le prolongement de ses thématiques, les réinterprètent, le citent… et montrent ainsi que son œuvre n’a rien perdu de sa pertinence. L’exposition commence par « le grand malentendu », lorsque Bruegel a été proclamé, au lendemain du romantisme, barde pictural des psaumes paysans, des craquements des paysages envahis par la neige et des murmures éternels des champs de blé ondoyants, profondément enraciné dans l’argile flamande. Elle étudie la manière dont les artistes flamands et, par extension, belges et internationaux, ont traité son héritage artistique au cours de l’entre-deux- guerres et au-delà. Dans ce cadre, nous nous concentrons sur James Ensor, Valerius de Saedeleer, Jules De Bruycker, Gustave van de Woestyne, Frits

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.

  • 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.

  • How a Young Girl Went to Wales During at the Beginning of the Great War in August 1914 Belgium Was a Neutral Country
    Caterina Verdickt https://doi.org/10.3986/wocrea/1/momowo1.01 1 How a Young Girl Went to Wales during At the beginning of the Great War in August 1914 Belgium was a neutral country. The German invasion came as a shock and the German atrocities were so extreme, that vast masses of the the Great War, to Become the Leading Belgian population left their homes and fled to France, the Netherlands and Great Britain. Hundreds of thousands of Belgians passed the ports of Antwerp and Ostend and tried to board a boat to cross Lady at ‘La Cambre’ Institut supérieur the channel (Fig. 1). In total over 150 000 Belgians, of whom approximately 300 were artists of all sorts, would stay for a shorter or a longer period in Britain during the War. des arts décoratifs in Brussels1 The many refugees caused chaos, especially in the first months of the war, due to the surprise attack of the Germans, but, however chaotic it might have been, the British press spoke of a peaceful invasion. The Belgians were in general not seen as a threat. At that time it was clear that their stay would be temporary.2 Once the refugees arrived in Folkestone, for instance, they were transported to London by train (Fig. 2). There they were registered at the offices of the War Refugee Committee in the General Building of Aldwych in London. This committee sought to house, clothe and provide for the Belgians. After This article will elaborate on the case of Elisabeth De Saedeleer who by invitation a few months many Belgians found their own place to stay, and started to organize their temporary of the Davies sisters of Aberystwyth made Wales her home during the Great lives in the United Kingdom (UK).

  • 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.

Minne Like many other artists of his time, George Minne finds his inspiration in medieval art. The purity of his work is reminiscence of the religious and spiritual creations of Gothic sculpture. Minne realises this purity and simplicity by removing the narrative context from the work. His themes are often personalised by mother and child, but in this case by father and son. De Prodigal Son was borrowed from a parable in the New Testament in which a son returns to demand his inheritance from his still living father. The son squanders the money on his sinful and meaningless life. When all the money is gone, he is forced to take a job. At that moment, the son comes to his senses and decides to return home and ask forgiveness of his father. Instead of punishing him, the father welcomes him home and they celebrate his return. The unconditional love between parent and child in this story has been a source of inspiration for many artists. In this sculpture, Minne carves the father’s face, especially the eyes, in sharp lines. His expression is moving and intensely emotional.

Artist description:: It is a strange twist of fate that the Patershol neighbourhood repeatedly played a decisive role in the development of painting in the region of the Leie. In the 1890s, it was the meeting place for the most important members of the so-called first Latem group: Minne, Van de Woestyne, De Saedeleer, de Praetere. In 1906, it appeared that history had repeated itself. In 1906-in the same neighbourhood-the foundations of the second group were laid: academy students Permeke, De Smet and Van den Berghe exchanged thoughts and worked on their future.
