Paul Van Hoeydonck

1958

Mixed Media, 40 x 194 cm.
Materials: oil, panel

Collection: Collection Ronny Van de Velde, Antwerp.

Starting in 1959, Van Hoeydonck takes a big career step and stops with geometric abstract painting. In the Brussels Saint Laurent Gallery he for the first time exhibits white-on-white paintings that create virtual movement; paintings that ‘change’ as a function of viewers’ movements. He also participates in 'Vision in Motion', with this new work: long narrow panels, white-on-white, with spare color strokes in black or red.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
