Beschrijving

Tekst Frans

This is one of the first attempts at a synthesis of Paul Delvaux's artistic output. An exact contemporary of Magritte, his work, begun in the 1920s under the influence of the Flemish Expressionists and the metaphysical images of the Surrealists, eventually culminated in a unique and freely expressed style. He created a dreamworld – De Chirico's empty silent streets – peopled alternately by exquisite, idealised young women, or skeletons – an evocation of life and death.

With over 140 illustrations in colour, the book contains reproductions of drawings, engravings and photographic documents that record all the phases through which his work progressed and the hidden symbolism lying beneath his choice of subject matter. An introduction by Marc Rombaut places his work in a historical context and discusses his development as an artist.

Marc Rombaut's work as a writer includes poems such as Matiére d'oubli, essays on and anthologies of African literature. He is also a broadcaster producing literary, artistic and music programmes for French-speaking Belgian radio and television.
