Raymond Dierickx : "evening Walk"

Raymond Dierickx (1904-1978) “La promenade du soir”, pastel 58 X 73 cm mounted under neutral pH mat 80 X 100 cm. A nude study in charcoal and blood burned on the back. Two friends take their evening walk along the path overlooking the canal on the edge of which a circus has set up shop. 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 expressionists in a typically Flemish style such as Anto Carte, representing Festivals, 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!
