Guy Vandenbranden Belgian, 1926-2014
Vandenbranden's wish to express his unique visual world in pure geometric lines, planes and colours led his paintings to become chromatically more complex with time. Dimension is achieved by cross-cutting the brightly coloured planes with broad black lines. In 1956, Vandenbranden joined the 'Art Abstrait' group, originally founded by Jo Delahaut, Pol Bury, Jean Milo and Georges Collignon. In 1960, Vandenbranden co-founded the 'New Flemish School' with Paul Van Hoeydonck, Jan Dries and Vic Gentils.
Guy Vandenbranden's work is included in the collections of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp; the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Liège; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Verviers.
