Peintres et sculpteurs belges a l'aube du XXme siècle
Peintres et sculpteurs belges a l'aube du XXme siècle is a 1907 art survey by Léon Tombu, published in Liège by Aug. Bénard, presenting Belgian painters and sculptors at the turn of the twentieth century for an art-literate readership. Its photographic plates show relief sculptures of crowded, writhing figures and a sculpted group of reclining bodies, alongside a rotated painting of a figure with a staff and a dark, misty landscape; a designer might take the dense, carved massing of bodies and the moody tonal atmosphere as reference for sculptural texture and low-key light.
