Jacques van Loock Portrait of a Sitting Woman Oil on Canvas Belgium 1950s

About the Item

Jacques van Loock Portrait of a Sitting Woman Oil on Canvas, Belgium, 1950s. A highly remarkable work, this oil painting by Belgian painter, designer and illustrator Jacques van Loock (1918-1958). A great composition, with very fresh and modern looking light and pose. Although looking very contemporary, this is a piece of work made in the 1950s. The woman depicted was most probably his wife Cecilia - as she was his muse and most common model. Regarding his work, this piece was written in 1958 when the work of Van Loock was exhibited. ‘Born in Le Havre in 1918, he was a student of Counhaye in Terkameren. He is related to those whom Paul Hasaerts has called the animists. Here too, one finds color, feeling, joy, spontaneity. Jacques Van Loock does not belong to any school: he is the representative of the real, the authentic, the unadulterated, the sincere in art. And isn't this enough to hold out in the future against the academicism and mannerism of some modernists? He declared that he particularly loved Velazquez and Goya: there we also find - but with the supremacy of the greatest masters - the expression of the most authentic art in the simplest form.’ Comes in a good - unframed - condition. Signed at the side.
