Gaston Bertrand Biography

(b Wonck, Limbourg, 2 Sept 1910; d 20 Feb 1994). Belgian painter, draughtsman and engraver. He formulated his style at the Ecole Saint-Luc in Brussels (1927–31), where he later taught (1956–62). He also studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts (1933) and at the academy at Saint-Josse (1936), where he joined up with Anne Bonnet (1908–60) and Louis Van Lint (b 1909). In 1945 he was a founder-member of the JEUNE PEINTURE BELGE group, which brought together and encouraged young artists. His self-portraits, interiors, seascapes and urban landscapes underline the unusual elements in everyday life by means of a witty stylization and a use of colour that sometimes gives the canvas a subdued appearance, sometimes with sharp accents of red and yellow (e.g. The Main Beach , 1940–43; Brussels, Mus. A. Mod.).
