BIO
Stylistic shift : Initially, he worked in an expressionist style (influenced by artists like Constant Permeke). Around 1932–1934, his style underwent a radical change after seeing the cabinet of curiosities at the Musée Spitzner and the work of Giorgio de Chirico at the Minotaur exhibition. This led to his characteristic "poetic realism."
Women and Nudes: This is his most iconic theme. He often painted stately, motionless, and ethereal female figures. They are often nude or scantily clad, but their gaze is distant, as if in a hypnotic or dreamlike state. They seem unreachable and rarely look directly at the viewer.
Poetic Realism: The technique is hyperrealistic and highly detailed, which further enhances the surreal elements. He used his painting technique to achieve a "poetic realism," depicting the world of dreams with the precision of reality.
Museum: The Paul Delvaux Museum is located in Sint-Idesbald (Koksijde), and houses a large collection of his works.
