A word of explanation is probably in order as to why my blog has been so quiet for the last few weeks. The main reason is that I’ve been busy writing about the arts for magazines and newspapers, including a weekly column in Brussels Unlimited, and as a result have had little time left to update this blog.
So I thought I’d share with you a series of articles that I’ve written this month on little-known museums around Belgium.
· The Gust De Smet museum, Deurle (Sint-Martens-Latem)
The spotlight is thrown on the Flemish Expressionist Gust De Smet, the golden years of the Sint-Martens-Latem art colony and the museum dedicated to his life and work.
· The Autrique House, Brussels
The story of the adventure undertaken by an artist and a write to restore this Victor Horta house and open it to the public.
· The Roger Raveel museum, Machelen- aan-de Leie
A trip to the museum that was specially built for Roger Raveel, who - now aged 88 - is arguably one of the most important Belgian artists since World War II.
· Geo De Vlamynck’s artist studio, Brussels
A peek into the studio of the late Geo De Vlamynck, a champion of the decorative arts, who not only painted but also made frescoes, mosaics and stained glass.
