Artistes belges de l'Art nouveau 1890-1914
Dates:1.9.2050-1.1.2999
Dans cet ouvrage, Benoît Schoonbroodt a volontairement laissé de côté les grands protagonistes du mouvement qui ont, les premiers, attiré l'attention des chercheurs et ont puissamment contribué à forger auprès du grand public l'image de l'Art nouveau. Il revient à l'exposition d'Europalia en 1980, au Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, de montrer que l'exceptionnelle floraison de l'Art nouveau belge ne résultait pas seulement de l'oeuvre de quelques personnalités marquantes, mais d'une constellation de créateurs actifs dans tous les domaines des arts appliqués. Hélas, bien souvent, les informations les concernant étaient lacunaires ou absentes. C'est là le mérite de l'ouvrage de Benoît Schoonbroodt qui s'est transformé ces dernières années en Rouletabille pour éclaircir les mystères nimbant tant d'artistes et leurs oeuvres. Il nous livre une série de portraits dont se dégage une image singulièrement vivante de l'époque. (272 pages, 300 illustrations)
