Zien, denken, schilderen

In 2021, the Roger Raveel Museum will celebrate the 100th birthday of the artist who left an unmistakable mark on the development of post-war painting in Belgium. With Seeing, Thinking, Painting, the museum brings a selection of paintings and drawings by Raveel from the period 1948-1968 into dialogue with the work of a number of painters who were incontournable for the development of this oeuvre. On the basis of various oral and written sources, the Raveel Museum has been able to bring together a selection of works in challenging circumstances that does not want to be exhaustive but above all an experiment, the start of the broader research that the museum wants to conduct and share in the future. It is an invitation to immerse oneself in the pictorial universe that Raveel formed as a painter. Seeing, thinking, painting offers a complementary answer and addition to Roger Raveel?s retrospective at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels: here in Machelen-aan-de-Leie one meets the painter in his habitat and above all in excellent art-historical company. Exhibition: Het Roger Raveelmuseum, Machelen-aan-de-Leie, Belgium (28.03. - 18.07.2021).
