DISCOVER THE WORLDS OF PAUL DELVAUX

Delvaux, a celebrated Belgian and international painter, is long overdue for a (re)discovery.

AS PART OF THE 100^th ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF SURREALISM, LA BOVERIE IS HOSTING A MAJOR EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO BELGIAN ARTIST PAUL DELVAUX

Représentant majeur de la peinture belge du XX^e siècle, Paul Delvaux (1897-1994) sera mis à l’honneur dans une grande exposition organisée à La Boverie à l’automne 2024.

The exhibition promises to be a landmark event, presenting masterpieces that have not been seen or brought together for many years. Taking a novel approach, the exhibition will also reveal little-known facets of this artist, considered to be the painter of women and railway stations. Visitors will be invited to discover the significant elements of Paul Delvaux's worlds through paintings, drawings and objects placed alongside each other or alongside the work of other artists.

A comparative study of some of Paul Delvaux's paintings with originals by major 20th-century painters (Modigliani, Ensor, Picasso, Magritte, etc.).

An innovative scenography revealing the artist's worlds, as well as his studio.

Original works not seen or exhibited together for a long time, from the world's leading museums.

The exceptional setting of La Boverie.

As visitors wander through the exhibition, Paul Delvaux's worlds will be revealed to enrich their perspective. They will provide an insight into the place of Delvaux's work in Surrealism and, more broadly, in the history of art. The aim is to shed new light on a timeless work, to reveal its complexity and to engage in a fresh dialogue with today's visitors.

Delvaux, a celebrated Belgian and international painter, is long overdue for a (re)discovery.
