14-18. Rupture or Continuity
Belgian art is in full swing in the early 20th century. Along with World War I, the occupation, the horror of battlefields and the exile of more than a million Belgians have a significant impact on the country鈥檚 artistic production. Nobody is indifferent to the life-altering experiences related to this war; while being a consolidation of style for some, they constitute a revolution for others.
The exhibition 14-18. Rupture or Continuity? delves into the vast collection of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and explores changes and constants of Belgian Art between 1910-1925. Artists and artistic movements with a significant influence, like Constant Permeke鈥檚 Expressionism, Jules Schmalzigaug鈥檚 Futurism, or even Jozef Peeters鈥� Pure Plastic, are shown side by side in this display, immersing the visitor in an era of artistic and political upheaval.
Digital Experience, the brand new multimedia cylinder, provides an interactive context for the works of art on display. The innovating device offers a global vision of Belgian artistic creation in the days of World War I, via historic documents, videos, audio recordings and artwork reproductions.
