de Bruycker, Autour le Chateau

Autour le Chateau des Coteau des Comtes de Flandres, Gand

Etching with touches of drypoint,1913, 735 x 620 mm., LeRoy 38 completed state. Very fine impression of this huge and impressive etching on imperial japan with good margins, signed and titled in pencil from the unnumbered edition. The sheet edges have been backed with paper tape and there are a few creases in the margins, otherwise in excellent condition. De Bruycker, in his own individual way, extends the tradition begun by Bosch and Brueghel and later by Ensor, although his images are less diabolical and more simply weird and enlivened by a sardonic sense of humor. He was devoted to his native city of Gand (Ghent) and to Flanders and there is often the sense of the little peoples’ struggles with life and with the powers of past and present. He worked on all scales, from tiny to huge and, needless to say, totally ignored the developments of modern art to produce his own unique visions. There is no other artist quite like him.
