Description from the seller
Arthur Van HECKE (1924-2003)
"Bouquet de fleurs"
Oil on canvas,
Signed and dated "54" at the bottom right,
A beautiful, colorful work by the painter from Roubaix, Arthur Van Hecke, depicting a bouquet of flowers, most certainly an apple branch, in a vase on a pedestal. The artist uses a palette of bright, luminous colors which brings the work to life.
Arthur Van Hecke grew up in Roubaix, raised by his grandparents after his parents separated. Passionate about painting from the age of 12, he copied works of Belgian masters such as James Ensor and Paul Permeke, while working as a factory laborer in a textile mill at 13.
During World War II, he joined the Free France troops and participated in the liberation of the Dunkirk pocket, while raising three daughters with his wife, Fernande Lamarque. Self-taught, Van Hecke began painting seriously after the war and exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Roubaisiens and in various galleries. His meeting with Roger Dutilleul opened an atelier for him in Roubaix, facilitating access to collections and exhibitions.
In 1961, settled in Petit-Fort-Philippe, he founded the Groupe de Gravelines with other artists, creating a print collection that gave rise to the Musée du dessin et de l’estampe originale de Gravelines, inaugurated in 1982. Van Hecke settled permanently in Hondschoote the same year, where he continued to create until his death in 2003.
Nb: An old small restoration, without impact, is visible on the back of the canvas.
Dimensions: 73 x 53 cm without frame and 87.7 x 68 cm with the original wooden frame.
