Description
John Henry Permeke (1914-1993) Landscape in Flanders
Oil on canvas.
In a deliberately limited palette, the artist depicts a Flemish rural landscape dominated by a vast twilight sky. The dark masses of buildings blend into the atmosphere, while a line of luminous clouds animates the horizon with an almost supernatural light. The work bears witness to John Permeke's enduring attachment to the landscapes of Flanders, while affirming a more contemplative sensibility than that of his father, Constant Permeke.
Exhibition: Permeke 5 générations, Campo & Campo, Antwerp, 1996 (label on reverse).
Provenance: Collection of James ("Joopie") Permeke, sculptor, son of John Henry Permeke and grandson of Constant Permeke; then family line.
