Galerie Oscar De Vos - Selection of Masterpieces
1925: landmark moment in Belgian art history In the summer of 1924, the death of Emile Claus marked the end of a prolific career and of Belgian Impressionism. The influence of the pioneer of luminism lived on in the work of Valerius De Saedeleer, Léon De Smet, Maurice Sys and Albert Saverys, among others. At the same time, the first exhibition of the Laethemsche Kunstenaarskolonie took place in Gustave Van de Woestyne's former studio in Sint-Martens-Latem. Around 1925, the Belgian art world was reorienting itself towards modern movements such as expressionism and surrealism. Modernity in Flemish figurative art was championed by protagonists such as Constant Permeke, Gustave De Smet and Frits Van den Berghe. Sint-Martens-Latem and the Leie region served as the cradle of this artistic revolution and led to a flourishing art scene far beyond the country's borders...

ABOUT
Oscar De Vos is an art connoisseur with a deep-rooted passion for modern Flemish art dating from 1880 to 1940. His gallery opened in 1968, focusing on Latem School paintings, drawings and sculptures. The artists associated with this school lived and/or worked in Sint-Martens-Latem, a picturesque village in the Flemish countryside crossed by the river Lys. All were involved in international art movements such as (post-) Impressionism, Symbolism, Expressionism and Surrealism. Over the last fifty years, the gallery has established its name in this specialised domain, contributing to international museum exhibitions and publications, and participating in international art fairs. Museums, art institutions and private collectors rely on the gallery’s expertise and reliability to expand and consolidate their collections.
