With an eye toward new generations of art historians, curators and researchers, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium propose a series of three talks on the Belgian avant-garde, the specificities of museum work and the role that paper plays within these contexts. This event will be concluding the research project “BePaper - Belgian Art on Paper in a European Perspective. 1918−1950” that started in 2020.
**This conference will be held in French**
This presentation consists of an introduction of the historical avant-garde in Belgium. After considerations on the very concept of Avant-garde and a historical portrait of the avant-garde field in Belgium (ca. 1916-1935), we’ll take a closer look at the positioning of Belgian avant-garde artists on the international scene, as well as the positioning of women artists within these cenacles.
