Constant Permeke (1886–1952) Suiveur de - Paysage et nature morte expressionnistes - Double face

Oil on panel, double-sided, signed.
Dimensions: approx. 40 × 50 cm

Artistic description
This work clearly aligns with the tradition of 20th-century European Expressionism, with a strong influence from Constant Permeke, a major figure in Belgian and international modern art.

The painting is characterized by a dense material worked with impastos, giving the surface a pronounced physical presence. The palette, deliberately sober and deep — dominated by dark greens, earthy ochres, blacks, and muted tones — enhances the emotional intensity of the composition.

The forms are deliberately simplified, almost monumental, emphasizing expression and inner strength rather than descriptive detail. The overall reflects a direct, sincere, and powerful pictorial approach, faithful to the expressionist aesthetic developed in the wake of Permeke.

Feature – Dual-sided artwork
The panel is painted on both sides, a relatively rare feature and particularly appreciated by collectors. This detail suggests a spontaneous and experimental working process, typical of expressionist artists and their circle, for whom visual research took precedence over academic conventions.

Historical and stylistic context
Constant Permeke was one of the leading figures of Flemish expressionism, alongside Gustave De Smet and Frits Van den Berghe. This movement gained international recognition for its bold pictorial language, its asserted materiality, and its emotional depth.

This work can be attributed to a follower or an artist strongly influenced by Permeke, active likely in the mid-20th century, within a European context.

Impasto and visible brushstrokes, consistent with expressionist practice.
