Arthur Grosemans (born in Brussels in 1906 and died in 1995) is a watercolorist, draftsman, gouachist, lithographer and painter of Belgian nationality, part of the lyrical and poetic abstraction movement. Co-founder of Nord-Art before the Second World War, he participated from 1941 to 1943 in the Apport salons, with other artists such as Anne Bonnet, Gaston Bertrand and Louis Van Lint who founded La Jeune Peinture Belge after the war.
From the beginning of the 1950s, Arthur Grosemans moved towards abstraction by playing with rhythmic geometric planes. From 1960, he limited himself solely to working in gouache. Grosemans' genius lies in the purity and economy of gesture. His delicate or powerful compositions are always subtle, intuitive, light and musical.
Works in the Museums of Brussels and Ixelles.
