Territoires intérieurs. Gustave van de Woestyne & Anto Carte

The van Buuren Museum & Gardens brings together for the first time two major figures of Belgian art in an intimate dialogue between nature, spirituality and rural life. The exhibition "Territoires intérieurs" places the works of Gustave van de Woestyne and Anto Carte in dialogue, two artists who left a lasting mark on Belgian painting of the early twentieth century without ever quite occupying the place they deserve in collective memory. Van de Woestyne, a central figure of Flemish Symbolism, and Carte, an Expressionist rooted in the rural world of Wallonia, share a common sensibility: a fascination with the land, with the simple gestures of everyday life, with light falling across a silent landscape. Their works, brought into dialogue in the intimate rooms of the Musée & Jardins van Buuren, reveal a similar quest, that of an inner space, a quiet spirituality that surfaces in every composition.
