AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful, complementary duo from the well-known Belgian modernist artist Octaaf (Octave) Pirlet.

These two works form a splendid whole and demonstrate Pirlet's mastery in postwar Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism.

Painting 1: Expressive landscape. A beautiful, lyrical landscape in which Pirlet's characteristic play with light, trees and intense color contrasts is central. This work forms the perfect visual counterpart to the village scene.

Painting 2: Village scene with working farmers in the field. A powerful, structured composition in which two figures toil in the land, with a characteristic village silhouette in the background. Pirlet brings the dynamism of rural life to life with bold lines and his characteristic, expressive color use.

Artist: Octaaf Pirlet (1914–1979), trained at the Academy of Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. Style: Fauvism / Abstract Expressionism – very lively with a strong, anguished and lyrical touch. Condition: In very good condition, beautifully framed (ready to hang). Signature: Hand-signed by the artist painting 1.

The works measure approximately 60 by 45 and 80 by 65 cm (with frames).
