Louis Pevernagie

Louis Pevernagie (1904–1970) was a Belgian expressionist and later abstract painter.

He obtained a degree of Teaching Education in 1924 but had started his career as a painter already during his studies.

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 tried to find a right balance between light and shade and conceived his paintings with intensity and self-confidence.

He carried out this interesting contradiction in a range of subjects like farmers at work, landscapes, interiors, nudes, flowers and still lives.
