paul delvaux | la boverie

A leading figure in 20th century Belgian painting, Paul Delvaux (1897-1994) will be honoured in a major exhibition at La Boverie in autumn 2024. The exhibition promises to be a landmark event, presenting masterpieces that have not been seen or brought together for many years. Taking a novel approach, the exhibition will also reveal little- known facets of this artist, considered to be the painter of women and railway stations. Visitors will be invited to discover the significant elements of Paul Delvaux's worlds through paintings, drawings and objects placed alongside each other or alongside the work of other artists. As visitors wander through the exhibition, Paul Delvaux's worlds will be revealed to enrich their perspective. They will provide an insight into the place of Delvaux's work in Surrealism and, more broadly, in the history of art. The aim is to shed new light on a timeless work, to reveal its complexity and to engage in a fresh dialogue with today's visitors. Delvaux, a celebrated Belgian and international painter, is long overdue for a (re)discovery.
