Jeune Peinture Belge

Jeune Peinture Belge (Englich: Young Belgian Painting) was an influential Belgian artistic association, despite its brief initial existence, it played a significant role in the post-war Belgian art scene​​. Founded in Brussels on July 3, 1945, by art historian and critic Robert Delevoy, it was comprised of young artists including sculptor Willy Anthoons and painters such as René Barbaix and Gaston Bertrand​​.

The group, known for its heterogeneity, embraced a range of styles from post-impressionism to various strands of abstract art, thereby nurturing the talents of Belgian artists and promoting their work both domestically and internationally​​​​. Despite its dissolution in 1948, the Jeune Peinture Belge's legacy in fostering Belgian art lives on​​.

Art collectors and experts who value the rich tapestry of post-war European art can find echoes of Jeune Peinture Belge's influence in various collections. For updates on auctions and exhibitions featuring works from this dynamic group, sign up for our newsletter.
