Léon de Smet: Coucher de Soleil sur le Village (c.1920)
“The painting dates from the period in which the artist had begun to experiment with burlap, following his move to London in 1914, on the outbreak of World War One. While de Smet’s use of discrete dashes of impasto colour does indeed recall Post-Impressionism, he allows the rough texture of the burlap beneath to ‘breathe’…
Mozart: String Quartet No. 16 Es-Dur KV 428
“In ‘Dédé at the table’ the artist’s attention is evenly divided between the girl and her surroundings. The décor, a flowery wall covering and a flowery table cloth obtrude upon us. The feeling of depth has almost disappeared and the strong diagonal line from lower left to upper right is dominant. The still life of…

Emile Claus: Sunny Day (1899)
A Risk: Google Translates Emile Claus’ oeuvre gives us a picture of everyday life in the Leie region around the turn of the 1900s. A painting as Sunny Day, which was created exactly that year, is a model for his narrative impressionism. The canvas displays remarkable parallels with the work of a well-trained photographer. After…
Kojima Torajiro and His Patron
Japan Meets Modern Western Art Torajiro Kojima (1881-1929) was a Japanese artist who chose to use the same visual language as the Impressionists. After a course in Western painting at the University of Fine Arts and Music in Tokyo, Japan, Torajiro Kojima left Japan in 1908 to study in Paris, aided by his patrons, the Ohara…
Jenny Montigny: “The Gardener”
Google Said ‘oeuvre’, not I 😉 Jenny Montigny preferred to paint everyday scenes from the countryside and village life in Sint-Martens-Latem. As here in “The Gardener”, these snapshots are not a reason to visualize social abuses or emphasize the weight of labor. On the contrary, Montigny always painted a harmonious society. The subject itself seems…
