Raymond Dierickx : "self Portrait In The Workshop/nativity In The Circus"

Raymond Dierickx (1904-1978): “Self-portrait in the studio/Nativity at the circus” double-sided mixed technique on paper 95 X 100 cm presented under neutral pH mat 100 X 120 cm. A man in a shirt, probably a self-portrait, looks at a sheet at the window in front of which a procession passes. Verso: At the circus which camps on the place of the port, a birth took place. It was a real discovery for us that this beautiful Belgian artist! Even found in sheets and dusted with dust, these drawings, once prepared and framed, reveal all the talent of Dierickx, close to artists such as Nicolas Eeckmann, Fritz Van den Berghe, Constant Permeke or other typically Flemish expressionists such as Anto Carte, representing Fêtes , processions, fairs in the great tradition of Flemish painters dating back to the 17th century with the Brughels, but treated in a very modern way. Other facets of his work show us his projects for frescoes or large decorations, often exotic, while in the old watercolors, we find a Symbolist vein with an elongated barrel. We devoted an exhibition to him (catalogue in pdf available by email) with the first ones found, but we have bought many since!
