Dear Art Lover,
if you are going to Sint-Amands, here is a tip for a visit worthwhile.
MASEREEL - VERHAEREN: DIALOGUE IN BLACK AND WHITE
A visit to the Emile Verhaeren Museum in Sint-Amands aan de Schelde is well worth it.
First of all, it sheds light on the figure of poet and art critic Emile Verhaeren (Sint-Amands 1855 - Rouen 1916), who wrote in French.
In his poems, he immortalized nature, the landscape of the Scheldt and his close love for his wife, Marthe Massin.
He was friends with writers and painters of his time, including Théo Van Rijsselberghe and Constant Montald.
The museum highlights Emiel Verhaeren with poems, manuscripts, documents and letters.
The temporary exhibition: MASEREEEL - VERHAEREN features work by woodcarver and graphic artist Frans Masereel (1889-1972). Through Sept. 7, 2025.
Masereel illustrated literary works, including poetry by Emile Verhaeren.
During World War I, he produced numerous prints about social injustice and the violence and misery of war in a powerful, expressionist style.
