Constant Permeke (1886-1952) - Avondstemming op zee

'Evening mood at sea' Constant Permeke oil on canvas mounted on cardboard 32 x 41 cm with frame
From private collection Belgium.

Constant Permeke (1886 – 1952) moved at a hinge point in society, with one 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 undeniably transcends the local context. His oeuvre resonates with the avant-garde movements that arose here and there in Europe just before, during, and after World War I.
