Summary
This book offers a detailed overview of the life of the Belgian artist Rik Wouters (1882-1916). It combines Olivier Bertrand's biography with the unpublished memoirs of Nel Wouters, his wife and muse. The numerous testimonies in this intense, richly illustrated book shed beautiful light on the various facets of the fascinating man and brilliant artist that Rik Wouters was. It includes, among other things, the previously unpublished text by Nel Wouters, the artist's widow and model. This text offers the reader a glimpse into Wouters's domestic life and also allows him to experience the creative process of numerous paintings, sculptures, watercolors, and drawings up close.
Texts by contemporary art critics such as O. Maus, Fr. Hellens, A. Delen, and others offer a different perspective on Wouters's art. Wouters's complete correspondence is also included. In addition to the handwritten documents, each is accompanied by a transcription or translation.
