Edgard Tytgat
Edgard Tytgat is a Belgian painter, engraver, illustrator, draftsman, etcher, watercolourist and wood engraver. As an engraver and xylographer, he illustrated numerous works. His painting, in a style inspired by Post-Impressionism, is often described as naive painting, with scenes of daily life, interiors, fairs, lovers, but not devoid of sweet poetry. From 1950, he approached the representation of mythological legends sometimes bathed in a certain eroticism. Edgard Tytgat has participated in numerous exhibitions, both personal and collective, in Belgium and abroad.
