Léon Spilliaert - Adriaens-Pannier Anne; Derom Edouard; Howe Jeffery
Wandering through Silence
KORTE INHOUD
The works of Spilliaert (Ostend 1881-Brussels 1946) fascinate for the mystery of their images. His drawings explore the solitude of human beings and of the sea's immensity. He evokes the life of various locations around his hometown of Ostend, and of objects drawn from his everyday life. His striking self-portraits translate the anguished plumbing of his deepest depths.

It presents a unique interview with his grandson, as well as brief chapters retracing the singular artistic contributions of the ...
