AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This sale offers a set of works from the studio of a Belgian painter, gathered over time according to his discoveries, encounters, and affinities. The artists have often maintained a privileged relationship with the arts of the first people: sensitive to the strength of forms, to the simplicity of volumes, and to the expressiveness of materials, they were among the first to look at these objects not as mere curiosities. Their eye, naturally attentive to lines and balances, led them to collect these works and, at times, to draw inspiration from them. This collection thus bears witness to an intimate dialogue between artistic creation, the collector’s eye, and a fascination with forms from elsewhere.
