Paul Delvaux
, Master of the Dream. A large retrospective exhibition of Paul Delvaux (1897-1994), one of the leading painters in Belgian art history. Delvaux is known for his characteristic and mysterious visual language in which elements from a variety of art movements, such as expressionism, symbolism and surrealism, are effortlessly combined. Delvaux developed a unique visual language of his own and left behind an intensely poetic body of work.

Many of the works are part of the private collection of Pierre and Nicole Ghêne-Rahm, housed at the Museum of Elsene in Brussels. The selection of artworks from this collection will be accompanied by paintings from other museums and private collections.
