He worked as a painter, watercolorist, engraver and filmmaker, but was mainly known for his engraving. He was a pupil of A. Bastien, J. Delville, G. Van Strydonck, A. Stevens, I. Van Mens, J. Van Santen and P. Mathieu, with whom he studied at the Brussels Academy. There, he was taught watercolor by I. van Mens and engraving by J. van Santen. He engraved a large number of quaint city corners in historic cities. He provided the etchings for E. Verhaeren's book The Illusive Villages. As a filmmaker, he directed, among other things, the documentary The Birth of an Etching which won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival and a documentary on the construction of the atonium. As a visual artist, he created a print shop etching before the war in 1932 and engraved many picturesque cityscapes in Belgium. He has also engraved and watercolored in the south of France and Spain. Particularly interesting is his color engraving, which he made after his colleagues V. de Saedeleer and A. Saverys. Aquatint is an intaglio printmaking technique, a variant of etching that produces areas of tone rather than lines. For this reason it has mostly been used in conjunction with etching, to give outlines. It has also been used historically to print in color, both by printing with multiple plates in different colors, and by making monochrome prints that were then hand-colored with watercolor. It has been in regular use since the later 18th century, and was most widely used between about 1770 and 1830, when it was used both for artistic prints and decorative ones. After about 1830 it lost ground to lithography and other techniques. There have been periodic revivals among artists since then. An aquatint plate wears out relatively quickly, and is less easily reworked than other intaglio plates. Many of Goya's plates were reprinted too often posthumously, giving very poor impressions.Among the most famous prints using the aquatint technique are the major series by Goya, many of The Birds of America by John James Audubon (with the color added by hand), and prints by Mary Cassatt printed in color using several plates. 7,000 Works of Fine Art In My eBay Store CLICK HERE Sign up for my email newsletters by adding my eBay Store to your Favorites Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
