14/18--Rupture or Continuity

Inga Rossi-Schrimpf, Laura Kollwelter

World War I had a major effect on Belgian visual arts. German occupation, the horror at the battlefield and the experience of exile led to multiple narratives and artistic expressions by Belgian artists during and after the war. Belgian interbellum art is extremely vibrant and diverse. '14/18 - Rupture or Continuity' takes a look at Belgian artistic life in the years around the First World War and how it was affected by this event. Exhibition: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, Belgium (29.09.2016-22.01.2017).
