More about this artwork

This compelling 1922-1924 portrait by Frits van den Berghe captures the essence of fellow artist Constant Permeke, a central figure in the expressionist movement. In this intense depiction, Van den Berghe uses thick, textured brushstrokes and a mood-driven palette to evoke Permeke's strong personality and his deep connection to the raw, emotional undercurrents of expressionism.The portrait diverges from traditional realism, opting for bold, unnatural colors and exaggerated forms that emphasize Permeke's features, almost abstracting them into the realm of emotional rather than physical likeness. Van den Berghe uses a fiery mix of reds and earth tones, contrasting them with shades of green and muted yellows, capturing an almost solemn, contemplative mood. The background, dark and loosely defined, draws the viewer's focus solely to Permeke’s face, illuminating his gaze and the thoughtful intensity it holds.As the painting projects Permeke’s persona and artistic spirit, it also stands as a testimony to the innovative edge of early 20th-century Belgian art, characterized by its freedom of expression and audacious style.
