Frans Masereel Frans Masereel (Blankenberge, Belgium 1889 - France 1972) was a Flemish painter and one of the greatest woodcut artist of the twentieth-century. He was educated by the Ghent painter Jean Delvin at the Ghent Academy of Fine Art. He settled in France in 1910, then moved to Switzerland in 1914 then in 1921 to Paris and later Berlin where his closest creative friend was George Grosz. After the Second World War, Masereel lived in Avignon and Nice, France. There is now a Frans Masereel Center ('Frans Masereel Centrum for Graphix') in the small village of Kasterlee in Belgium. His greatest work is generally said to be the worldless graphic novel Mon Livre d'Heures (Passionate Journey). His work has strongly influenced the work of Clifford Harper.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h Sitemap famous paintings | famous painters | painting styles | famous artists | mixed media painting | painting technique | oil paintings | canvas painting | life oil painting still | abstract art paintings | modern art work | fine art painting landscape | oil painting reproductions - media | history of paintings | oil painting - idioms | links | review painting articles | review painting news | press release | Kids Costumes | Women costumes |
