AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From Piet Mees (born 1927) we know exactly what he most liked to paint: snow.

He was a Belgian painter from the second half of the twentieth century. He is included in Paul Piron's standard work on Belgian visual artists from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.

His recognizable work is strikingly consistent. Mees was an expressionist and mainly painted winter landscapes: villages by a brook or a river, under snow, in oil on canvas. In addition, he painted harbor scenes and river views, but snow is his trademark. A characteristic example is Winter Glow in a Landscape, a painting of 100 by 79 centimeters with exactly that motif.

For anyone who holds his work, one practical matter: he signed it in full and legibly.

His work circulates almost exclusively in Belgium, through galleries and smaller auction houses.

A painter who buried himself in winter and drew almost his entire oeuvre from it.
