“Belgian artist Antoine (Anto) Carte’s works are unique in that they include characteristics of symbolism, naturalism, and expressionism. His subjects are inspired by the lives of laborers such as miners, farmers, and fishermen.
The son of a furniture maker and carpenter, he attended the Academy of Mons and Brussels from 1897 to 1908, where he studied with artists such as Constant Montald, Émile Fabry, and Jean Delville. These important Symbolist painters profoundly influenced his practice and his style.”

    What an outrageously unusual, yet very valuable take, on this theme! It reminds me of a book you would probably love ~ wildly popular thirty years ago, you may have heard of it: The Holy Man. A very simple and entertaining read, most of the action takes place in line waiting to see him ~ not that the reader is at all disappointed when she finally gets to the monastery door! If you haven’t read it you should.
