ROGER RAVEEL Museum (117)
Roger Raveel is one of Belgium’s greatest post-war artists. He would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2021. Raveel was born on July 15, 1921 in Machelen-aan-de-Leie in East Flanders (Belgium), where he continued to work and live until his death in 2013 and where his museum still stands today and his works can be seen.
In a world in which the arts are increasingly international, he remained local. He did not choose for a particular school or movement but developed his own style. His exceptional visual language, balancing between figuration and abstraction, often inspired by his immediate surroundings, set him radically apart from his contemporaries.
