From a private collection Belgium

Constant Permeke (1886 – 1952) moved at a hinge point in society, with a foot in modernism and another in the tradition of, among others, Rembrandt, Rubens, Goya and Van Gogh. Although he is often described as one of the core figures of Flemish Expressionism, he unmistakably transcends the local context. His oeuvre resonates with the avant-garde movements that arose here and there in Europe just before, during and after the First World War."
