Objekte, mit Angaben zu: Titel, Jahr, Technik/Materialien, Masse, Signatur, Standort/Besitzer -- "Victor Servranckx is, after Georges Vantongerloo, the most international and perhaps the most productive of the first generation of abstract artists in Belgium. [.] As the only artist from the Pure Plasticism, his work was chosen in 1927 by the New York gallery Société Anonyme for the International Exhibition of Modern Art. Servranckx belongs to the Brussels' avant-garde movement. [.] With the rediscovery of the historical avant-garde, Servranckx shall come up in the polemic over who is the first abstract artist in Belgium. Evidence for his pioneering work in 1917 is missing, but his geometric abstract works from 1923 and 1924 are without a doubt of superior quality. Typical for his non-figurative oeuvre is material imitation and the suggestion of mechanical movement in highly stylised forms that are very close to French Purism. [.] Through the usage of forms piled up on each other, his work often has a collage effect. In 1925, Servranckx momentarily stops with painting in order to devote himself to architecture and design [.]. When he again takes his brush in hand a year later, he distances himself from the constructivist style and allows for a very diverse mixture of styles in his oeuvre. His work evolves then to an abstract surrealism whereby organic elements are combined with geometrical forms." (etc.; aus: abstractmodernisme.vlaamsekunstcollectie be, online). - Sprache: nl, fr.
