Summary

Nederlands: P.G. Van Hecke en Norine (1920); gouache, pastelkrijt in Oost-Indische inkt op karton; 170 x 120 cm; collectie Mu.Zee, Oostende

Leon Spilliaert (1881–1946) was born in Ostend, the oldest of seven children of Léonard-Hubert Spilliaert, a perfumer, and his wife Léonie (née Jonckheere). From childhood, he displayed an interest in art and drawing. A prolific doodler and autodidact, he was predominantly a self-taught artist. Sickly and reclusive, he spent most of his youth sketching scenes of ordinary life and the Belgian countryside. When he was 21, Spilliaert went to work in Brussels for Edmond Deman, a publisher of the works of symbolist writers, which Spilliaert was to illustrate. He especially admired the work of Edgar Allan Poe.
