René Carcan
René Carcan was a Belgian painter, engraver, sculptor and jeweler.
He studied sculpture at the Academy of Saint-Josse-Ten-Nod and then painting at the Brussels Academy.
Carcan developed an artistic style that has been compared to Henri Matisse, and the frescoes of Tuscany and Etruria became one of his main sources of inspiration. Carcan was a prolific and polymorphous artist, always eager to experiment. In addition to his work in printmaking, he enjoyed sculpture and jewelry making.
