René Guiette (1893-1976)
Interbellum period
Curated and identified
Work on paper

From 1919 Guiette starts to paint and his style evolves from expressionism towards cubism and post cubism. Guiette’s friend Le Corbusier designed a house for him in Wilrijk just next to Antwerpen which is the only Corbusier building in Belgium.

The authenticity of his intellectual and artistic searching makes Guitte one of Belgiums most interesting artists of the 20th century. Guitte is lesser known than his friend and colleague René Magritte, but the exhibited together several times. In the time Guiette was in life he was considered as one of Belgiums most important abstract painters.

Nieuw-Buinen 1900 - Kampen 1984
Work on paper - 1951

In 1922 Alkema became a candidate member of De Ploeg. Through Jan Altink, Alkema was introduced to the Belgian art magazine ‘het Overzicht’. In this way, Alkema came into contact with constructivism, which appealed to him very much. In the summer 1924 he visited Antwerp and in the same year he became a designer at an architectural firm. In the summer of 1925, he visited Belgium again and established friendships with Belgian artists, among them the poet and writer Paul van Ostayen (1896-1928) whose work impressed him.

Bought from the artist

Léon Zack studied painting in private academies and literature at the University of Moscow. He then spent time at in several studios where he met avant-garde artists like Ivan Rerberg and Ilya Machkov, the founding members of the group Jack of Diamonds which referred to Cézanne's Fauvism and presages of Cubism.

In 1913, he published a collection of poems signed under the pseudonym "Chrysanthe" and married, in 1917, Nadia Braudo with whom he had two children: Irene, who became a sculptor, and Florent.

In 1920, Zack and his family left Russia for France via Rome, Florence, and Berlin, where he produced set designs and costumes for the Russian romantic ballets directed by Boris Romanov.

Ten years later, Zack joined the neo-humanists movement inspired by the art critic Waldemar George. During this time, Léon Zack also worked for the Monte-Carlo Ballet and illustrated works by Arthur Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, and Baudelaire. In 1940, he left Paris and took refuge in Arcachon, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and Grenoble. He returned to Paris in 1945 where he exhibited his first abstract works at Katia Granoff's and at the Garets gallery.

Francis Vaes revisited the circle motif in the early 80s, producing a series of hard-edge compositions with logical, rhythmic and vibrant concentric circles.

The six circles carry a rhythm and a logic from the fullness of the world to its emptiness.

Francis Vaes (1948) - oil on board - circa 1980

Akin to Max Bill, Theo Van Doesburg and Jo Delahaut, Francis Vaes' is the maker of pure visual sensations. Over the course of five decades of artistic explorations, Vaes developed a captivating artistic universe.

Francis Vaes' works are rigorously abstract and concerned primarily with colour. In the 70s he was impressed by the work of Barnett Newman and adopted concentric "target' images and to the use of circular canvases or board in this period.

Roger Van Gindertael (1899-1982) was born in Brussels and trained at the Academy under Herman Richir before moving between Belgium and France in the 1920s. Though he initially studied architecture, he turned to painting and drawing, absorbing the energy of Expressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism.

Later, he became just as well-known as a critic, championing artists such as Nicolas de Staël and Hans Hartung, and shaping how post-war European abstraction was received. Yet in the 1920s, before writing dominated his life, he produced a striking series of works on paper that still catch the eye today: Monsieur Zéro.

Léon Zack was a Russian-Jewish émigré who became a leading exponent of the Abstraction Lyrique movement, which was the European equivalent to Abstract Expressionism in America. A painter, sculptor, illustrator and creator of tapestries and mosaics, Léon Zack left a body of work which spans through the 20th century. From his early, Impressionist influenced painting to late lyrical abstraction, all his work displays a particularly Russian sensitivity, which is almost mystical in tone.

Mixed media -15x11cm

The year 1925 can be seen as the year of transition and renewal for Belgian artist Frits Van den
Berghe: key figure in modern Belgian art history.

This period led to his unique artistic vision, at a
crossroads of expressionism, symbolism and emerging surrealism.

Jozef Peeters (1895-1960), a pioneer of abstract painting in Belgium, designed a remarkable flat interior in a social housing estate designed by Antwerp city architect Emiel van Averbeke.

From the mid 1920s, it served as both a studio and family home for himself, his ailing wife and their two children. While living, working and educating his children there, the avant-garde painter experimented in his home with the spatial use of colour.

The interior design resulted in a modernist Gesamtkunstwerk where walls merge both into one another and with the furniture.

Brian Willsher (1930-2010)
Wood sculpture
Signed and dated 1979

Brian Willsher was born in the deprived South London borough of Catford in 1930 and lived in the city all his life.

His was a definitively ‘non-art’ background, one that would today make him an ‘outsider artist’. He had no formal training as a sculptor – instead he studied engineering at Woolwich Polytechnic for three years from 1946 and then began a career of odd-jobbing, working as telephone engineer, farm worker and dental technician, all the while funnelling his various salaries into his passion for motorcycle racing.

In the early 1950s Willsher suffered a major bike crash. During his recovery he began playing around with plaster, before moving onto wood around 1956. Initially he tried his hand at making a living carving salad bowls, to little success, although this did lead to a shop owner asking him to make lamp bases instead, which proved fare more popular and were sold at Harrods, Heal’s and Liberty. From here, Willsher began to generate purely sculptural forms, defined by their intricacy and layering, in a modernist vocabulary reminiscent of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.
