Oil on panel "Imaginary Faces" by Jean Dratz
If Dratz is best known for his realistic landscapes, commercial illustrations and satirical caricatures, this particular work highlights his rarer forays into the fantastic and surreal, capturing a haunting, overpopulated dreamscape of superimposed ghosts, monstrous faces and spectral figures reminiscent of James Ensor or Hieronymus Bosch
Jean Pierre Gustave Dratz (1903-1967) was a versatile and prolific Belgian painter, illustrator, cartoonist and comic strip artist. Born in Mont-Saint-Guibert, he was the son and pupil of the painter Constant Dratz
