The Boatman by Marcel Cockx
Dimensions: frame 100 cm * 80 cm
work 79 cm * 59 cm
Marcel Cockx (Herent 1930 - Leuven 2007). Painter. Trained at the Academy in Leuven under J. Cobbaert and W. Paerels (1944-1955). He painted landscapes, interiors, figures, flowers, but also found inspiration in rural life, the farm, the circus, clowns, the world of the child. Evolved from a dark expressionism (influence of Permeke) to a bright and strong color expressionism.
From the press: “M.C. can best be characterized as a color expressionist. His color palette is honest and pure. The somewhat hazy atmosphere that envelops his themes subtly symbolizes the dream world of the child” and “The melancholic seclusion of his characters, their quiet resignation, their serene acceptance of fate, being the pictorial expression of the artist's moral foundation. The calm texture of his landscapes with their unblemished content, as well as the sobriety of the prop material, point in the same direction. His spontaneous zest for life, his exuberant joy, his optimistic view of things, however, find their translation through the exuberance of the applied color pattern” (S. Van Gelder, 1974).
Prize from the city of Leuven in 1966, from the city of Aarschot and the municipality of Kortenberg in 1967. Work in the Museums in Leuven and Mechelen, in the collection of the Belgian State and the province of Brabant. Was a teacher at the Academy in Leuven (1956-1985).
