Constant Permeke - Gheeraert Inne; Van Reybrouck David; Rovers Daniël

Although the work of Belgian artist Constant Permeke (1886?1952) is generally classified as Expressionism, he explored a multitude of registers. From the very beginning of his career, Permeke gained widespread international recognition with recurring subjects such as domestic scenes and people engaged in everyday activities. His landscapes and seascapes exude a hushed, sometimes sublime warmth. For Permeke, art and life were closely linked. His oeuvre shimmers with a vital, raw energy but can also be melancholic. He combined his painting technique ? characterised by powerful brushstrokes, dabs, smudges, scratches and streaks ? with drawing and outlining. Fully aligned with Modernism, he looked for ways to break through academism and reinvent painting, time and time again. This collection book is beautifully illustrated with dozens of paintings, sculptures and drawings. The numerous archive photographs offer unparalleled insight into the master?s life and oeuvre.

Although the Belgian artist Constant Permeke (1886-1952) is considered to be an expressionist, he explored numerous different styles. In a quintessentially modernist fashion, he sought ways of upending or exploding academicism, and of repeatedly reinventing painting. Right from the start of his career, Permeke achieved wide international recognition with his recurring subjects such as domestic scenes and people going about their everyday activities. He participated in numerous major exhibitions at home and abroad, alongside great names in art history such as Georges Braque, Amadeo Modigliani, Ossip Zadkine and Pablo Picasso.
