Description
Roger Raveel Retrospection is a comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the Belgian painter Roger Raveel (1921-2013), one of the most important artists of the second half of the 20th century. This catalogue showcases over 120 artworks from public and private collections, highlighting the unique development of Raveel's pictorial language over time. Raveel's artistic style is notable for its independence from international trends, instead drawing inspiration from his immediate surroundings. This choice now seems revolutionary in today's globalized art scene, where local anchorage is often overlooked. The catalogue provides a valuable insight into Raveel's singular approach to art, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in 20th-century Belgian art. Distributed by Mercatorfonds, Roger Raveel Retrospection offers a unique perspective on the life and work of this influential artist.
