Juliaan Van Gaubergen - evening

Juliaan (Jules, Julien) Van Gaubergen was a Belgian painter born and died in Aarschot (1921-1984). He made his debut in an expressionist design. He made several study trips, including to Italy, and visited important museums at home and abroad. He became acquainted with the work of Paul Cézanne, which led to a short period of experimenting with cubism. His attention goes out to people, nature and the landscape and he developed a personal style that strongly connected to Flemish expressionism and Permeke. He became a member of the Groep Idee in 1955, together with J. Cantré, E. Tytgat, P. Mara and P. Nolens, among others. From around 1963 onwards, his (swaying) landscapes with grand cloud formations and distant horizons, flower arrangements, scenes from the life of the common man were created. He is one of the most representative painters of the Hageland landscape
