Discover Willy Schlobach, hand reproduced in oil on canvas.
1864 -1951 · Brussels, Belgian coastline and avant-garde
Willy Schlobach was born in Brussels in 1864 into a family of German origin. Trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, he belonged at a very young age to the circle which founded the Brussels group Les XX in 1883. This association exhibits without a jury the newest research in Belgium and invites Seurat, Signac, Whistler, Van Gogh and Gauguin. Schlobach paints portraits, landscapes and especially views of the coastline, dunes and changing waters. His touch gradually divides under the influence of impressionism and neo-impressionism, but retains a freer atmosphere than the rigorous application of a scientific method. Blues, mauves, roses and yellows make the air vibrate between sky and sea. He also exhibited in Germany and developed a career shared between Belgian and Germanic circles. After the dissolution of the XX in 1893, his name partially faded behind those of Ensor, Van Rysselberghe and Khnopff. Its rediscovery allows us to better understand the internal diversity of a European avant-garde based on exchange. The "Willy Schlobach" selection offers a specific journey on this subject. The "Willy Schlobach" selection offers its own journey on this subject. His reading favors the material.
In Schlobach, the divided touch not only describes the light on the sea: it makes visible the air that separates and connects each plane.
