"Yellow Tulips"
In the painting "Yellow Tulips," Floris Jespers showcases his Fauvist prowess, breaking free from representational norms to engage in a vibrant dance of brilliant colours. This early 20th-century masterpiece transcends the confines of Impressionist realism, beckoning viewers into a world where petals pulsate with rhythmic energy. Within this timeless dialogue between artist and observer, Jespers immortalises not just the transient beauty of flowers, but also the enduring emotions they evoke.

Biography: Jespers Floris was a versatile Belgian artist born into an artistic family in Antwerp on March 18 in 1889. He excelled as a painter, graphic artist, sculptor, and cellist. Alongside his brother Oscar, Jespers explored various art forms and earned a living through music before focusing on visual arts. His encounter with Paul van Ostaijen in 1915 marked a pivotal moment, leading to the formation of a modernist group in Belgium.
Jespers experimented with diverse styles, from impressionism to cubism, influenced by artists like Rik Wouters and the avant-garde movement. His works during World War I showcased a shift from constructivism to fauvism. In the 1920s, he joined prominent Flemish expressionists, producing notable pieces such as “Adam en Eva” and “Bonjour Ostend.”
The artist’s collaboration with Van Ostaijen extended to illustrated literary works. Despite disagreements, Jespers’ impact on the Belgian modernist scene was significant. He taught and continued to evolve as an artist. His influence expanded further during his stays in Knokke and, notably, Congo, where he found inspiration for a second phase in his career. In addition to paintings, Jespers created sculptures and monumental tapestry designs.
Throughout his artistic journey, Jespers maintained a distinct authenticity and originality in his paintings. He continued to evolve as an artist until his death on April 16, 1965, in his hometown, leaving behind a legacy of contributions to the Belgian modern art scene.
Today, his paintings are housed in both private and public collections. A retrospective in 2005 at Mu.ZEE honoured his contributions to the Belgian modern art scene.
