In collaboration with the Universiteit Gent, MSK Ghent honors the painter, draftsman and engraver Albert Baertsoen (1866-1922): scion of a Ghent industrial family, this practically self-taught artist is one of the protagonists of the Belgian art scene and international of the Fin de siècle. Bartsoen was dubbed 'the painter of Ghent' by people of his day, an honorary title which reflected not only his artistic importance, but also his singular love for Ghent. His gaze was above all focused on the dilapidated, polluted, abandoned corners of a city that he represented countless times from the beginning of the 1890s. This fascination for medieval cities condemned to change their aspect definitively under the effect of modernization also explains why Baertsoen aroused the interest of symbolist writers like Georges Rodenbach. Exhibition: MSK, Ghent, Belgium (03.09. - 27.11.2022)

En collaboration avec l'Universiteit Gent, MSK Gand met à l'honneur le peintre, dessinateur et graveur Albert Baertsoen (1866- 1922) : rejeton d'une famille industrielle gantoise, cet artiste pratiquement autodidacte est un des protagonistes de la scène artistique belge et internationale de la Fin de siècle. Bartsoen était surnommé 'le peintre de Gand' par les gens de son époque, un titre honorifique qui reflétait non seulement son importance artistique, mais aussi son amour singulier pour Gand. Son regard était surtout axé sur les coins délabrés, pollués, abandonnés d'une ville qu'il a représentée d'innombrables fois à partir du début des années 1890. Cette fascination pour les cités médiévales condamnées à changer définitivement d'aspect sous l'effet de la modernisation explique aussi pourquoi Baertsoen a éveillé l'intérêt d'écrivains symbolistes comme Georges Rodenbach.
