While impressionism was rampant in Belgium around 1900, a number of artists in Ghent resisted capturing fleeting impressions. Together with young intellectuals, they also oppose capitalism and increasing industrialization. One by one they leave the city and settle in the neighboring village on the Leie: Sint-Martens-Latem. In the twilight years of Symbolism, the artists immerse themselves in nature and rural life, in search of originality and depth. For their work they use stylistic devices from the past, but their art is authentic and refreshing. Never before has the first Latem artist colony in the Netherlands been given full exposure. The book accompanying the exhibition in the Noordbrabants Museum focuses mainly on the work of prominent members George Minne, Valerius de Saedeleer and Karel Van de Woestijne. More than sixty paintings, drawings and sculptures provide a picture of this important group of artists in Flanders at the beginning of the twentieth century. Exhibition: Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch, The Netherlands (10.07.-09.10.2022). Terwijl rond 1900 het impressionisme hoogtij viert in België, zet een aantal kunstenaars in Gent zich af tegen het vastleggen van vluchtige indrukken. Samen met jonge intellectuelen keren zij zich ook tegen het kapitalisme en de toenemende industrialisering. Eén voor één trekken zij weg uit de stad en vestigen zij zich in het naburige dorp aan de Leie: Sint-Martens-Latem. In de nadagen van het symbolisme verdiepen de kunstenaars zich in de natuur en het landleven, op zoek naar oorspronkelijkheid en verdieping. Voor hun werk grijpen zij naar stijlmiddelen uit het verleden, maar hun kunst is authentiek en verfrissend. Nooit eerder werd de eerste Latemse kunstenaarskolonie in Nederland in de volle breedte belicht. Het boek bij de tentoonstelling in het Noordbrabants Museum richt zich voornamelijk op het werk van de prominente leden George Minne, Valerius de Saedeleer en Karel Van de Woestijne. Ruim zestig schilderijen, tekeningen en beeldhouwwerken geven een beeld van deze belangrijke kunstenaarsgroep in Vlaanderen aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw.

Thought-provoking reflection on culture, colonialism, and the remainders of empire in Belgium after 1960 The degree to which the late colonial era affected Europe has been long underappreciated, and only recently have European countries started to acknowledge not having come to terms with decolonisation. In Belgium, the past two decades have witnessed a growing awareness of the controversial episodes in the country’s colonial past. This volume examines the long-term effects and legacies of the colonial era on Belgium after 1960, the year the Congo gained its independence, and calls into question memories of the colonial past by focusing on the meaning and place of colonial monuments in public space. The book foregrounds the enduring presence of “empire” in everyday Belgian life in the form of permanent colonial markers in bronze and stone, lieux de mémoire of the country’s history of overseas expansion. By means of photographs and explanations of major pro-colonial memorials, as well as several obscure ones, the book reveals the surprising degree to which Belgium became infused with a colonialist spirit during the colonial era. Another key component of the analysis is an account of the varied ways in which both Dutch- and French-speaking Belgians approached the colonial past after 1960, treating memorials variously as objects of veneration, with indifference, or as symbols to be attacked or torn down. The book provides a thought-provoking reflection on culture, colonialism, and the remainders of empire in Belgium after 1960.

King Leopold II of Belgium was proclaimed the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State in 1885. Convincing the colonial European nations to commit to common trade and improving the lives of native inhabitants, he meanwhile extracted a fortune from the territory through an administration marked by forced labour, torture, and murder. Oliver Leu presents an eclectic collection of visual research, a reflection on both the visible representations of colonialism in Belgium today and the hidden traces of its gruesome past. He portrays an ambitious ruler with delusions of grandeur, showing the influence the exploitation of Leopold's private colony still has on contemporary Belgium.
