-
Subjects derived from one's own
surroundings, without any intellectual or mystical meaning.
-
Composition is solid and structural,
forms are simple and synthetic.
-
The finishing touch, being loose and
spontaneous, leaves enough room for the creative eye of the spectator.
-
Emotion and the chosen object will
have full play. Accordingly, secondary details are suppressed and the
original starting plan is still recognizable.
-
All possibilities of painting
technique are used together in the same painting. Light, translucent colors
next to thick, covering paint; brush strokes next to rough strokes of brush
or pallet knife. Strong, pure colors put on canvas directly, next to
delicate color mixing on the palette.
- The style of pre-modernism is figuratif and eclectic. It is collective
name for different painting styles from the end of the 19th century,
begining 20ieth century. Pre-modernism encloses naturalism, impressionism,
luminism, fauvist and the Mechelse School.
- Power: Pre-modernism touches the collective conscience of all those who
miss the connection with the modern tendencies.
- Future: when pre-modernism allows modernising tendencies, it makes a
movement possible to postmodern art. A society where the old can die with
dignity, is a sound society where room is made for the
new.
