Louis Pevernagie (1904–1970)

Life

Louis Pevernagie" was born in a village in Flanders at the beginning of the 20th century (1904). He was the father of the painter Erik Pevernagie "'. The landscapes of the Flemish Ardennes were the inspiration for many of his paintings and gave an idea of Flemish farm life. He obtained a degree of Teaching Education in 1924 but had started his career as a painter already during his studies. He married at the age of 30 and had 2 children. After WWII he moved to Ukkel-Uccle (near Brussels). His ideas and visions were expressed on canvas and on paper, but also in the media as he had become a journalist at Press Agency Belga. He died in Ukkel-Uccle in 1970.

Work

Louis Pevernagie started as an expressionist painter. He mainly used warm colours with a powerful expression. As he was permanently in quest of light he could be classified among the “luminists”. He tried to find a right balance between light and shade and conceived his paintings with intensity and self confidence. His approach was rough and at the same time subtle. He carried out this interesting contradiction in a range of subjects like farmers at work, landscapes, interiors, nudes, flowers and still lives. After WWII he turned to non figuration. Also in the abstract period he kept the power and the vigour of his artistic temperament.
