Raymond Diericckx : "procession With Monk"

Raymond Dierickx (1904-1978) “Procession au monk”, pastel 50 X 70 cm mounted under neutral pH mat 60 X 80 cm. In front of the huge cathedral, the monk carrying the crucifix and leading the procession begins to descend the stairs. It was a real discovery for us that this beautiful Belgian artist! Even found in sheets and dusted, these drawings, once prepared and framed, reveal all the talent of Dierickx, close to artists such as Nicolas Eeckmann, Fritz Van den Berghe, Constant Permeke or other expressionists in a typically Flemish style such as Anto Carte, representing Festivals, processions, fairs in the great tradition of Flemish painters dating back to the 17th century with the Brughels, but treated in a very modern way. Other facets of his work show us his projects for frescoes or large decorations, often exotic, while in the old watercolors, we find a Symbolist vein with an elongated barrel. We devoted an exhibition to him (catalogue in pdf available by email) with the first ones found, but we have bought many since!
