Art Abstrait: The Roots of Formes
This exhibition delves into the evolution of the Art Abstrait group, founded in 1952, and its transition into the Formes group, both of which were vital for post-war European abstraction. Through a selection of prints, works on paper, and canvases, it highlights the groundbreaking contributions of their leading artists.
Key figures include Pol Bury, who transitioned from surrealism to kinetic art; Jo Delahaut, a theorist of geometric purity; Jan Saverys, blending abstraction with organic forms; Kurt Lewy, known for vibrant patterns; Jean Rets, exploring movement through curves and lines; Paul Van Hoeydonck, focused on texture and space; Guy Vandenbranden, a master of bold geometric abstraction; and Francine Holley, who brought lyrical sensitivity and color to her work.
The exhibition traces their shared vision, showcasing the pioneering spirit of Art Abstrait and the refined precision of Formes, shedding light on a vital chapter in modern abstract art.
